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 MoreLooking to relocate to the Country and Mountains
Comments (6)If you're thinking of TN, definitely go for Eastern TN. I moved to Memphis 2 years ago and can't wait to move to the Knoxville area. I've done a lot of research and it seems really nice. Plenty of lakes and rivers and the state park nearby. I lived in FL for a while and if you're used to four seasons you'll definitely miss them if you move to Vegas (Christmas just isn't Christmas when you're wearing shorts). I love that the seasons here are equally spaced the only problem with Memphis is that it is so hot and humid in the summer that in July and August being outside is miserable. It's usual about 95 with 90% humidity, not fun. From what I heard and read, Knoxville is still hot but about 10 degrees cooler in the summer especially in the mountains. There's a town called Maryville which is just south of Knoxville and it seems really nice. One thing you'll have to do to garden here is amend the soil (raise beds are best)since TN has clay soil. I've heard that Maryville makes it easy because they collect the leaves and mulch them and if you ask nicely they'll give you a bunch of the mulched leaves which are perfect for creating lasanga beds. Maryville also seems to have all the major stores either in the town or nearby. The schools there are really good and I know you said you don't have kids but good schools ussually produce good kids and it's much nicer having well behaved neighborhood kids than otherwise....See MoreSmoky Mountain prone to blossom end rot?
Comments (7)A single variety can have BER in one season and as grown the next season have no BER at all. And that's b'c there are so many variables involved with BER and several here have posted those variables, myself included, in many threads, all to be found by just searching, but I bet that Dave has them all compiled in one link, bless him.

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 More
