From what I can tell at this point it has to be the first outlet in the string or the breaker is to be GFCI. I still need to confirm if it's either or both.

Got the window done and got a lot of the garage cleaned up. Still have a bunch to do and boxes to go through but we are on the right path. Here is one pic. The rust stains are from the "L" brackets that were holding the swap cooler.

Yep, first one in the string that's how I had to have it in my shop in Mesa, had to have one on both side walls.

Solar is in and waiting for the city to inspect and APS to do their thing. 23 panels were installed. This should be interesting. When they did the electric evaluation I still had the old AC unit. The new one is using a whole lot less power.  :good

Oleanders are cut down as well. Yard looks SO much better. 3 hours on Saturday and 3 hours on Sunday to get it done with a china store electric chain saw.  :good  Now if I can get the pics off my phone I will be able to show the difference.  :banghead

Spent the past few days working on the outside of the house cleaning things up a bit.  Got some root issues with a planter in front and found a separation in one section of the block wall!  :eek   All I know now is that it "looks expensive"  :banghead

I can't get the roots out. They were all planted at the bottom of the planter there along the wall. All we able to do is cut the things down as far as we could. Once I'm able to make sure they are dead(will be awhile) I plan on adding dirt to the planter and the GF will plant what she wants. I might try my hand at some jalapeno's or some pepper of that kind.  :D   :good

Isn't there some stuff you can get to inject the root that will make it rot away, thought I heard about that before. :stupid

I have heard the same thing. I should go and do some home work on it. Had a guy say that he drilled the stump and poured ground clear into them. Didn't say how often but he did say the plants were dead in 3 months. He said kill all roundup will work too. only thing I'm worried about is being able to plant things later and let me kill them and not the chemical.

Not sure if it does or not. I don't want to take that chance right now. I have grass coming in outside the planter I would like to keep.

Didn't get anything done over the weekend. Something grabbed my a$$. Didn't have any energy at all. Did dink with the IAC on the boat sunday morning until I got frustrated and a kink in my neck trying to get one screw in that is blind to get to. Will try later in the week when I get time.
