  1. Wiring up a 240 14-50 outlet for my wife's new car. Trying to do everything roughly to code. Had to put it in conduit because of the legacy of the #Chicago fire. Had to use a $125 #gfci breaker because this is a garage. For some reason. Gfci is also on the #evse, so I'm worried about nuisance tripping. I'm an electrical engineer, right, so I can learn this stuff. Right?

    Lowes only sells spools of 6/3 8/1 cable. A bit spendy. I used only about 4 feet.

  3. Ta-da! However, I found older outlets behind the sofa and two six-foot bookcases. They'll get new white #GFCI outlets today. Fingers crossed that the living room will be fully painted this evening, and I can move on to painting the dining room.

  4. Looking for a way to ditch the 20W power brick on this #Apple #HomePod I found an outlet with an integrated 65W Power Delivery 3.0 output :blobfoxcofeowo:

    Pretty awesome. Only problem is I also need GFCI for this location :blobfoxfacepalm: Turns out there are plenty of USB-C outlets with #GFCI, but none of them go above 5V. Of course the #HomePodMini needs 9V to be happy… :blobfoxglare:
