removing baseboard heaters, reusing the circuits
Going to be removing the baseboard heater in the bedroom. It is just taking up space. (Is small house- 3 inches would make a difference on the water closet's door side.) "easy part" is removing them. What I want to do is route the power into a wall socket so I can have bedside lamps in there. Surface mount and just trim the wires to fit? tschus pyotr -- pyotr filipivich. Discussing the decline in the US's tech edge, James Niccol once wrote "It used to be that the USA was pretty good at producing stuff teenaged boys could lose a finger or two playing with." |

Many of those baseboard heaters are 220 volt. Just check before changing things .... --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

An easy way to map 120V outlets to their breakers is to plug in a vacuum cleaner that makes the floor vibrate, so you can hear it running from the breaker box. In the other direction I extended the leads of a clamp-on AC current probe on the breaker wire with an extension cord to the DVM upstairs, to record the heater duty cycle and room temperature on a computer.

Their suspicion and expansionist tendencies make relations with them fragile. When the Chinese fighter crashed into the US P-3 I had a hard time explaining the incident to the many Chinese engineers at work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hainan_Island_incident The fighter likely flew into the larger plane's wingtip vortex (horizontal tornado) while buzzing too close, which rolled it unexpectedly. They claimed our plane caused the crash, but if our ex-airliner could outmaneuver their fighter they should give up. Of course the difference is in the words. We wrongly spy, they lawfully investigate. http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone...ing-thaad-test |

removing baseboard heaters, reusing the circuits
Larry Jaques on Wed, 13 Jun 2018
19:42:29 -0700 typed in rec.crafts.metalworking the following: It is in the bedroom, I'll be plugging lights into them. Maybe the vacuum cleaner every other Spring. And I thought _I_ was a bad housekeeper, doing mine once a year, whether it needs it or not. Oh, time to get more bags for the Hooving Machine. Walmart: 6pcs Type-A bags for $7.95 delivered. (Cheaper than going to the Wally World in town and buying them at 3/$5.) My wife (GF at the time) knew we were made for each other: our vacuum cleaners used the same bags. That, and I talked to/with her cat. Ours is a strange and wonder relationship. I'm strange, she's wonderful. After that intro, I'm surprised you didn't say that you knew your relationship was going to suck, what with you both using the same type of vacuum and all. I figured out _real_ early, (the fifth day) that discretion is a key element of Marital Harmony. I did not tell her I could see the wildfire from the hotel porch. Not till the next day, once we were on the train home. -- pyotr filipivich "With Age comes Wisdom. Although far too often, Age travels alone." |

I meant to write 14/2 w/ ground there (only good for 15a circuits, 12/2 for 20a). - When you radically activate on the side of the Left, you call forth compensatory forces.
