I gave up on CCA doing more than sinking concrete and hosting banquets.

I doubt it’s a breaker. If it’s multiple parts of your house, it’s likely just low service voltage. The weather has warmed this week so not unexpectedly, utility voltage can drop.

If you have a good meter and are comfortable using it, you can measure the voltage on each breaker to neutral. Also make sure all neutrals are tight.

If it’s brief, it may also correspond to your A/C or other large load kicking on.

I installed a SWG 3 years ago and it has been great. But I recommend upgrading your pump seal to extreme duty as the saltwater will eat it up and get into your motor bearings.

I’d start with the easiest…make sure it’s not your truck or a dirty plug first.

If that’s good, I’d check voltage at the light to see if the light failed internally or if you have a bad connection somewhere dropping your voltage. With LEDs, they need a certain threshold voltage to turn on, unlike incandescent which would just be dim. Low voltage = bad connection somewhere.

Doing a bathroom renovation and planning to replace the ceramic tile with marble. Seeing all the rage with uncoupling membranes but unclear on if it’s needed as I’ve pulled up a ton of ceramic over the years and it’s always set directly on the slab.

Needed or overkill? The downside I foresee is adding marginal height where it will meet the existing floor at the door.

Anyone know why LP smartside trim is hard to find in Louisiana? I’ve searched HD/Lowe’s and local lumber yards. Nada. Move outside the state and it appears to be available.

I used the siding on my shed and wanted to use the trim but now I may need an alternative or a trip to Mississippi.

I currently have some on order with theshutterstore.com. They were best price I could find. They sent templates for detailed measurements that you take and return. So far, communication has been great, but haven’t gotten shutters yet. Lead time was 12 weeks when I ordered last month.

You know, I thought I saw his wife there recently and couldn’t figure out why. Had no idea he was there now. Curious to see how that shakes out…

Mine would turn itself off. Minn Kota insisted it was my batteries or a bad connection. I do electrical work so I went through my system carefully, changed plug, load tested batteries, etc.

Pulled the control board out and put it on an independent power supply for testing. It turned itself off after a little while. Replaced it and never had an issue since.

Control board is about $200 and very easy to DIY.

What’s a ballpark price for replastering? Mine needs it and info I see online is all over the place.

If you can trailer it, you can bring it to the landfill in Walker. I had a boat that had to be disposed. Obviously no fuel or oil in it. I backed it up near the roll off bin and the guy picked up the bow with a front end loader and I pull the trailer out. He pushed it off and it was gone forever. About $50 at the time.
