The market is pretty nuts here. The seller holds the most power as all types of buyers are coming in: all cash, no contingency, etc. I got lucky where most of my stuff was ok. The home inspector did note that the fuse rating is low by current standards, but par for my block. I guess I'm going to...

Thanks for the info. Ok, guess looks like it's going to be a contracted/major infrastructure upgrade. Hmm, maybe time to move. But my take away is that this isn't a simple "short the box" fix isn't the way to go.

There is no main breaker in the breaker panel. I want to take the fuse box out of the equation because I don't want to routinely replace fuses. I started blowing fuses one day and it became a hassle to replace them. I prefer to have the breaker trip, which can be reset, vs having to buy and...

Pretty sure I have 10 AWG wire coming from the street. Would have to go home and measure the core wire. I white out the account info. That does you no good. The line comes from the street, under my lawn, into my garage via a pipe and up to the fuse box that you see. Then it takes a turn...

I'm confused by your post. Cat6a has higher specs so you can run 10GE at the same lengths as Cat5/5e. Was there something else I missed?

Well played. slow clap

I'm running new cat6 cable under my house / in a crawlspace. I don't want the cables dangling like a massive jumprope. I see that the power / rg6 lines are stapled to the joists. What should I use to attach the cat6 cable to the joists? I was thinking a staple gun would apply too much...

Been a while, but here's my setup. I have a fuse box that feeds the circuit breaker.

I have a circuit breaker that is fed by a fuse box that is fed by a power line from PG&E. Not sure why the previous homeowner kept the fuse box when installing the circuit breaker, but it's there. I'm looking to short the fuse box by replacing the plug fuses with shorts. I could run wires to...

Panasonic Whisper FV-11VQ5

Nope, this is a bathroom fan. It's the matching sensor for their bathroom fan.

Apparently this Cadillac of light switches is a dud.

So is there fancy internals in the switch that choose where to run the current? Out on the ground line vs the neutral line? Any reason other appliances don't require such a fancy switch?

This Panasonic switch is for the Panasonic condensation fan that does not have a light. The button on the front is to manually activate the condensation fan.

Has anyone else heard of a problem with this model?
