Looking at 1,200 for a whole new one

It's that bad. But I got one more estimate to get before I decide

Had my weed eater too close to the track and the door never tried to go up once it detected the force from it. It kept trying to go down.

Luckily, I went with another estimate.

They did the shit for $179 and fixed it in 15 min.

I need to come in here more often

Find your reset switch on one of your outlets first before you start changing out plugs

Probably just tripped something

Im just hope the wires inside arnt all cooked.

I can swap an outlet but thats about it for my electrician skills

Ahhh

Then just replace it with another one with the reset unless you did it already

How did it come out

Get you a good snake and that's more than half the problem with plumbing. Im with you on the electricity only thing im doing with it is flipping switches

How did it come out

I replaced it and its still broke

Im pretty upset about it.

:L:

 

[AP2.5]

You replaced it with another one that has the reset switch?

Did you check the breaker box to see if it tripped

Also, I knocked out two of my outside projects during this time. Got a couple more to go

Wanted to make another entrance to my back fence area to be able to get my lawnmower in and out easier

Edit

Thought I had pics of it on my phone but I gotta take an after pic

But I also wanted to carve out an area in the backyard to keep the trash cans to get them out the garage after the trash runs

Spoiler

Just gotta finish pressure washing this part of the house and treat the grass in this area so that it grows back and that'll make the cypher complete

What's your budget?

I would start off at Walmart and go from there

My budget is based on what I find and like, but I prefer cheaper options

Walmart goods are to fragile

Yeah, I think you can get a nice budget set up from Walmart

If I were you, to save even more money, I would see what I have around the house that could be repurposed for pennies on the dollar vs buying something new
