Just a little of my handy work... taking pride in your work is important

So I've been doing a lot of home inspection repairs for the company I work for... and the biggest issue I see is the lack of GFCI protection where required by code. So heres a friendly reminder that in a residential building GFCI protection is required in Bathrooms, Kitchens (countertop areas and any general purpose receptacle within 6 ft of your sink), Basements that are Unfinished (sorry painting your block walls and slapping down a vinyl floor doesn't constitute a finished area), Laundry Areas, Outdoors, Garages, and any receptacles located within 6 ft of a sink or basin. This can be done by way of GFCI receptacle or GFCI combination breaker. Please make sure you check this out as a homeowner if you're selling. If you feel confident you can do the work yourself you can save yourself money (at $20-25 an outlet with markup as the installer plus labor) if you check for this.

I can't tell you how many times I've been asked what homeowners can do to save energy. Whatever your motivation is heres a good read.

Homeowners know that saving energy is a sure way to save money. An easy way to find out how to save energy is to perform a self-audit of your home using an app like HomeSelfe. HomeSelfe takes less than 5...

I highly recommend LED lights. Not only are they energy savers they are offered in many color temperatures to suit your personal preference. In a home environment I suggest anywhere between a 3500k to 4000k. In an outdoor environment I suggest a 5000k as the lumens output may not differ from temperature to temperature but your eyes will say differently.
