How to Ground a Two-Prong Electrical Outlet
Heath explains the purpose of a ground wire and then grounds an outlet for a homeowner. Where to find it? Any work that involves working on the electrical panel can be dangerous and should only be done by a licensed professional. In this scenario, Heath found that none of the surrounding receptacles or their wiring were to code, so he removed and replaced them with a 12-2 NM cable and a single GFCI outlet. These materials can be found at any home center or electrical supply store. Expert assistance with this segment was provided by Eaton and Eastman Electric.
How to Choose and Use a Paint Roller
Mauro explains the different types of paint rollers and then demonstrates good rolling techniques. Where to find it? Mauro explained the paint rollers have different nap lengths based on the texture of the surface being painted. In general, a roller with a shorter nap is good for smooth surfaces, and a roller with a longer nap is good for rough surfaces. The materials Mauro used to demonstrate these techniques, including the paint, the tray, and the roller, can all be found at home centers.
