Coffee anyone ?

[SageHill]

Finishing coffee and breakfast roll. Something tripped the outside gfi and no hot water. DH disconnected the outer part of that run and hot water is back! But now to figure out what is tripping it - greenhouse, smoker, bbq, or ???
It’s been an intermittent thing, thought it could’ve been related to pea soup fog - but don’t think so since we’ve had A LOT of that all this year and no gfi problem until today.

GFCI Ground fault circuit interrupter reads the voltage going out the hot side and the voltage coming back on the neutral side that makes a circuit. If the difference is around 4 to 5 milliamp it breaks the circuit "relay". It's not the fog since peoples bathrooms get foggy. GFCI plugs go bad all the time when used hard, try a new one in it's place if no wires are frayed or broken and all is grounded right

I'll suggest that! LOL just got the same description from DH on the workings of the gfi. All this stuff is outside so I was thinking the only common link - at least the first time around a year ago or so - was the pea soup fog. Not a plug though - tried switching the wire to another breaker and that one would pop. Probably in the wire??

If it's a GFCI breaker then yeah you more than likely got a fault somewhere.

Looks like the kitty has said no for me moving to do anything for the day...

Roll of fence taken to site. 175' rolled out, stood up & temp tied to posts to hold up until I have a break. Then I'll stretch & connect to posts. Wouldn't have done as much tie off at this point BUT -- as I was admiring the nice roll out, I saw I had 6 goats admiring it too . I ran them to upper side of the field and rushed to get it lifted up. That stuff is not cooperative, can be heavy and unruly. After this, even more to recreate

Finished my lunch -- back at it now.

Farming -- not for the faint of heart.

Never in my wildest dreams as a suburban Karen did I ever think “a fence is a beautiful thing”. Yours Is a beauty. Gotta go weather
Edit: not so bad but windy.
