Redoing Tile - Step Down to Living Room
Comments (2)The homes in my subdivision are like this. Some people tile the wall surface and then put a little tile on the living room floor. I chose to use the Schluter Rondec trim and I like the way it looks. It's up to you. Here is a link that might be useful: Schluter Rondec Step...See Moreliving room dilemma.. keep or not keep?
Comments (21)Youv'e done a great job. Best arrangement for this room. Please now: -move the tv cabinet down toward sofa, so that it touches corner of sofa. It should sit directly across from the love seat. (You might have to move the sofa a little toward the left. There are ways to disguise that it is not centered. We will work on that) -add 2 end tables on either side of sofa. Add 2 lamps. (Or you might have to add a floor lamp and table lamp.....or keep the plant....let's see how the furniture ends up) -remove art over the tv -hang tv -art over sofa is way too high. Should be a few inches above sofa. -add a rug and pillows. Do you want any color in the space? What do you like?...See MoreHow to "mark" a step so that people do not trip off it
Comments (27)To subtly mark a step in your home without compromising aesthetics, consider using a narrow strip of contrasting tile or stone at the edge of the step.

Comments (183)It has been required to put a GFCI for the 120V 15A and 20A receptacles in the laundry area since the 2014 code. What changed in 2020 is that a 240 receptacle also requires it. What is happening here is not that the neutral has an unbalanced load, that would be impossible unless there really was a ground fault. What is happening is that these new He washers typically use a variable frequency drive to allow efficient multiple speed drum rotation. These things dump some of the energy back as higher harmonics which the GFCI doesn't detect. It's not that the current is imbalanced, it's just that it's returned at a frequency that the GFCI can't detect. The answer is that your washer manufacturer did a lousy design. You can design VFDs to not do this or at least provide filtering to stop it from happening....See MoreUser
