Nov 4	comment	What should I consider when buying a USB inspection camera? A better question might be: "how can I figure out which pipe is leaking in my wall?"
Oct 29	comment	How can I safely remove an outlet from service? There's some data that suggests that plastic plugs in receptacles have minimal effect reducing child electrocutions, while creating a choking hazard. In the case of 220V receps, remember that each hot leg is only 110V (just like the other receps in your home) and so may not present an increased risk. However, you have to make your own call on this.

Oct 17	comment	How long will a treated post last in the ground? That's common advice, and I believe it's true for most soil types, but for rich clay that doesn't drain well, it may make the situation worse: it will give water a place to pool.

Oct 13	comment	What do I need for new home electrical service? Personally, I don't like putting breakers in the same box as the main disconnect. If you ever want to change that box, you need the power company to come pull the meter.
