Man am I losing it. I haven't used a USB cable in years to download photos off the camera. I don't know why I totally forgot about the card reader. Man this crap is making me lose my mind!!!!

Anyhow, this is what I found this week on the temporary circuits:





Anyhow, I'm NOT happy about this. Faulty GFCI? More likely, faulty wiring or overloaded. It's making me re-evaluate everything. I thought when I went to buy the copper that I had priced out 12 guage .. I forget why now but I remember being shocked at the cost differential between what I wanted to do with 12 gauge and what 14 gauge cost me in the end. Was it the breakers maybe? Maybe it was the breakers. I remember feeling it was a HUGE difference and I thought, well, 2 circuits at 14AWG worked fine for so many years, why woudln't it work again especially if I double up? (I have 4 circuits coming in the fish room whereas before I made do with two).

Now this is causing me to really re-evaluate. I guess if the answer is start over then the answer is start over. It's just so darned frustrating. This is the slowest build in the world as it is anyhow. It's like everything I do along the way, I regret how it ends up and I end up redoing it. I rebuilt the stand 3 times, I redid the framing a few times, I ended up puncturing the pipes at one point and had to fix that, I ended up putting in my pressure regulator backwards so I had to redo that, the overhead light fixture didn't fit with the HRV ducts and had to be redesigned, the overhead fixtures squeek when someone walks in the living room so they have to be redone ... if it weren't me I would find this pretty damn funny. All I want is a tank, a nice reef tank! Why does it have to be like this !!! It's unreal, just unreal.
