✅ All electrical groups in the house fully mapped out
@joepie91 I just replaced a faulty GFI socket about ten minutes ago and you are giving me ASPIRATIONS
@ifixcoinops I mean, this *has* been on my to-do list for 3 years :p And I was motivated to do this by the recent partial-power-outage shitshow (electrical igniter of the gas stove tripped an RCD and it took hours to discover the cause)
@ifixcoinops My approach has been to just print a bunch of numbered labels, turn off all the groups, then turn them back on one by one and stick a label on everything that has become powered again
@joepie91 That's awesome and definitely on my list for a day when I don't particularly need stable power to everything.
This particular GFI trips every time my spouse makes a cup of tea, but I've never tripped it myself; bit of a mystery but, like, it can't be the spouse. It can't. She knows how to use a kettle. I'm hoping the GFI was just at end-of-life and the new one doesn't trip but if it does then I'm gonna be in Mystery Headache Town
@ifixcoinops Ah yeah, in my case everything had already gone to shit stability-wise thanks to the previous RCD issues, so I figured I'd take the opportunity to do this now :D
Possibly $spouse fills the kettle in a way that causes some water to leak onto the contacts? With some kettles it's really easy to trip the RCD that way
@ifixcoinops So now every outlet and light switch has a numbered label 🙃
