While not ideal your wife could ,as a temporary first step , use her credentials to get a LPN (licensed practical nurse). Pay is less but not bad and she could take her time getting the RN license....

Re: Let's talk about cars

I decided to bolt much of the frame together only welding the lower main structural frame. I can build the rear body before I cut the tunnel. It’s going a lot faster than expected and the cost of the...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I got my project car home and in my garage to work on a few weeks ago. I am designing the body as I go along and haven’t yet cut out the 22 inches to make the wheel base about 72 inches. I am welding...

Re: Home and garden projects

That was a good idea as there is no downside to having a new breaker and will eliminate a major area of concern. Hopefully that will fix the problem.

Re: Home and garden projects

That’s very possible. If the problem resolution is your financial obligation the first thing I would do as the homeowner is consider buying a new main breaker. Especially if you can establish that it...

Re: Home and garden projects

Just curious what country are you in? The name hob must be referring to the upper burner portion of stove but can’t relate it any familar terms.

Re: Home and garden projects

When I made my first post I was thinking worst case possibilities like intermittent shorts when it is more likely just operating near capacity where an infrequent combination of device usage trips...

Re: Home and garden projects

Older houses are especially prone to max load problems. Years ago 60 and 100amp main panels were common. Now big houses have two 200 amp panels. When I started wiring my present house I thought my...

Re: Home and garden projects

That would be especially likely if some new device was recently added like an electric heater.

Re: Home and garden projects

Let me know what you find out about the problem. I am not an electrician but wired my own house with detached garage a few years ago. In Tennessee you are allowed to do that and have it inspected by...

Re: Home and garden projects

Is the main the only breaker that trips? Any power drain large enough to trip a main breaker should cause a secondary breaker to trip. Is the main breaker in question serving only your apartment and...

Re: Planespotting II

I owe much of my hearing loss to 54 years of flying small airplanes. As Pulaski said no mufflers and an airframe perfect for transmitting sound. Many think aircraft are leading edge technology but in...

Re: Home and garden projects

From a plumbing standpoint treating the early system as a “well” and using a shallow well pump with built in storage tank could be the way to go. One pump with tank of proper size on ground floor...

Re: Home and garden projects

Doesn’t the municipal water supply arrive at your house under pressure? You would think a pump would be unnecessary. In the US water pressure from the utility is usually 50psi and many times higher...

Re: Home and garden projects

If it runs on hot and pressure is ok on hot it is a more minor problem with a valve or switch. The plumber replacing the other pump will probably know immediately what the problem is.

Re: Home and garden projects

It should make some noise and have a slight vibration you could feel when running.

Re: Home and garden projects

I would let the plumber coming to fix the upper pump deal with it. Show him the low pressure problems. Is the apartment water source a well and not city water?

Re: Let's talk about cars

Thanks. Will post my progress. The plan is to build my own design open frame body similar to photo. The red car builder cut down the VW tunnel by 22 inches and rewelded it back together. By keeping...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Just started a car project turning a VW Beetle into a buggy similar to the one in the photo. It’s shortened 22 inches from standard wheel base. I found a donor car in Dalton Georgia with little rust....

Re: Home and garden projects

Another good way to locate studs is remove an outlet or switch cover to find first stud then measure over 16 inches to find others. When I am hanging something heavy using 1/4 inch diameter screws or...

Re: Home and garden projects

When I am drilling into a wall I take a very small finishing nail and gently drive thru drywall to just contact the underlying wood until I find exact center. Always along a line later hidden by hung...

Re: Home and garden projects

Wires running horizontal are usually thru holes drilled in center of stud which is 3 1/2 inches of depth. So the important thing is to use screws too short to reach the wire being sure to hit stud...
