Yes I am. I have an electrical circuit in my living room that I tapped into for outside recepticles (110v). I also hooked up a 60w spot for my flag. The circuit was notorious for tripping the breaker with the vacuum on it. Since my modification it is much worse. For my new circuit I put it on a GFI. Is there a simple fix of just changing the breaker current limit?

TPBM will give me advice that is worth exactly how much I payed for it.

Wait a minute! Coming from you that's a trick question and I won't fall for it. Besides, Lanc would just claim to own me again. He's funny that way. But no. I don't play in a band

TPBM did not read the What Annoyed You Today thread

No, because most of them were annoyed by me

TPBM was annoyed by me and posted it on "What Annoyed You Today"

No. But I'll take that into consideration. Most everyone annoys me. I'll add you to the list.

TPBM thinks he's an intellectual, but in actuality is mired in mediocrity.

Howstuffworks "How Water Heaters Work"

TPBM needs wishes they were an engineer.


Its not that I dont know how a water heater works, I just dont know what kind we have. I am not living in Germany permenantly. How that I was Honorably discharged from the Army today I am only here until my wife is finished with college and then I am moving to Alaska. Therefore we did not buy a house here in Germany. We are renting a place and it is a 2 story house. My landlord lives on the bottom floor and me and my wife live on the top floor. It is like a normal apartmant though. We have a different entrance from our landlord and dont ever have to see them. In fact in order to get into there place we have to go outside and walk around to other side of the house.

Anyhow the water heater is in there apartment and I have not bothered to ask what kind it is because frankly I dont care. As long as I have hot water on demand that is all that matters.

Sorry to make a story out of it.

Yes I do. Do you have your A&P from the military? Alaska is certainly a lucrative place to go for aircraft repair. With respect to your water heater, now I understand. But how do you pay your utilities if the landlord gets the bill. You split it? Water free (included in the rent)?

TPBM has never witness the absolutely raw beauty of the state of Alaska. And it is their loss.

Yes I have my A&P, but I did not get it form the military. I went to a FAA testing center in South Carolina and tested out for it.

As for the water heater we have a meter that tells us how much we use.

Wrong I have been there and witnessed it. That is why I want to move there for good. I had orders from the Army to be stationed there but they sent me to Iraq instead. To me it is the beautiful place on earth.

TPBM now know A&P means Airframe and Powerplant, but still doesn't quite understand. By the way, good for you uhhuh35. You really had to be uhhuh35? Couldn't just be uhhuh? [a story is warranted]
