Wildflower or weed? in Smoky Mountains
Comments (4)Don't be so dependant on whether others consider it a weed or not. If you like it, keep it. If you think about it, even "weeds" are wildflowers, just not ones that you particularly like....See MoreI'm amazed: Smoky Mountain Autumn
Comments (17)I know this is an old post, but it convinced me that this is a must have for me. I have been eyeing it for the last month. I finally emailed the local dl garden, Lakeside Daylilies, and asked if it was still available. Their open gardens are in late June and I was going to wait until then to get it, but after seeing this post, decided to go for it. Looks like I can't go wrong with this one. I'd really like to see your pictures if anyone has any....See Moresmoky electric smell
Comments (26)Jally, Calm down. I am talking from experience, I have often been called by friends and family who have gotten themselves into a dangerous situation without knowing. Honestly, a blog forum is not a place to get advice on home wiring. I very infrequently visit this page because of some of the advice I have seen meted out.A multimeter is not going to do much good in your situation. I will tell what I suspect. The conductors are not making proper contact resulting in arcing. The wires were pushed into the back of the outlet as compared to being secured with the screws or there is a splice w/ a wire nut that is not secure.The outlet could be defective. The screws on the outlet could be touching the the metal box.You could have 2 circuits from opposite sides of the main panel in the box ( very dangerous). There are a whole host of other conditions that are possibilities. As far as a calling someone qualified, just state the problem. There is no need to inform them who did what, just what the problem is.Most electricians don't pass judgement, they fix the problem and move on....See MoreMy mountains are burning
Comments (61)NBC news had a man looking for his wife and two young daughters. I keep looking for any updates on that story but haven't seen anything other than when he made it back to their house it was burned up. I feel so bad for him and pray they have/will find his family alive still....See More- 11 years ago
