Do It Yourself (DIY) - June 2006

the 2 125 amp boxes are for a home and a cafe built into a double size row home 1 breaker box has about 140 amps of breakers in it and 5 or 6 slots open the other has about 170 amps worth of breakers in it and 8 or 9 slots open, would it be safe to add a 50,a20 and a 15 amp breaker split up between these 2 boxes, I know that all items will not be used at the same time but being a house and a cafe the stoves, fridges, and compressors will most likely be used at the same time. any help would be appreciated, THANK YOU.

Around 10 months ago, we painted various rooms in our home, each in a different color. In two rooms we used paint from company X, and in another room we used paint from company Y.
Both companies are supposed to be good.

In the rooms with paint from company X, we have observed the following: a crack in the paint, and a strange drippy look (as if someone had added a darker shade over the paint, and it had dripped - or like someone washed the wall with some liquid and left a mark).
In the room with company Y paint, everything looks great.

My question is, could the crack and drippy look indicate that company X sells bad paint? Or is something else is to blame? What could cause cracks and a drippy look?

We are amateur painters, but I really thought we did a good job :-(

I already know: Use a ground-fault outlet mounted inside a plastic flip-open waterproof cover. Most hardware stores have these.
This needs to run 24 hours a day.
