And then I went to the breaker panel and turned off a breaker. Walked around the house seeing what was not running. Made a note of it. Turn that breaker back on turned off the next breaker. Walked around the house seeing what was no longer on. Did that until I had gone through all the breakers in the panel. Took my notes and made a nice breaker panel drawing, which I taped to the inside of the panel door. I really wish all homeowners would do just what you did. It would even be better if the original electrician's as-built blueprints, or copies, were retained/stored for future reference. Ya done good Alpo! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up here, if you're building your own house, you are allowed to do the electrical, plumbing and gas yourself. Bummer was I had a few boxes of 20A breakers left from my previous house I was going to use, then bought the then current electrical code book and discovered most had to be arc fault breakers. They are pricey, but haven't been any issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobbyists and big money started influencing NEC many years ago and hasn't stopped. The AFI requirements have added completely unnecessary costs to new and some remodels. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having heard a security presentation by someone who did this under controlled circumstances witnessed by a Fed, his equipment was confiscated on the spot. No charges (as he disabled his own drone), but he did not get his gear back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Communications Act of 1934 -- felony to 'jam or otherwise interfere with' approved electronic signals (radar guns, cellphones, GPS, radio communications/control signals such as RC cars or drones -- if it's associated with a device that's been commercially sold, it's an approved electronic signal). I looked into getting a cellphone jammer once, this is what I came up against. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I wonder why the warden is wearing a vest? If Patrolman Johnson, of the 12th precinct, gets shot in the big city, he most likely is getting shot with a pistol, and wearing a vest would be helpful. But if Warden Barker there gets shot at in the deep woods, he's going to get shot with a high powered rifle, and that Kevlar ain't going to do nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
