(and then i moved it around and put in an even bigger one cuz she just gets so many rings, and this is the rings she wears "daily" she has an entire wall unit for just storage)

It’s for hanging earrings. My wife has three of those racks in that bathroom, not all of them full. It’s just sitting there in that picture waiting for me to hang it on the wall.

yea i installed one that turns on when i turn on the lights, tbh i don't think i'm supposed to tie it in to the light switch and it probably should be on 20a instead of 15a but so far no fires yet!

Yikes. You've likely got some pretty hot wires. Mine is on a thermostat and warms the entire bathroom splendidly. It comes on an hour before I have to shower. By the time I get there, the room is a balmy 23 or 24 degrees (75 you peasants), and my towel is toasty when I get out of the shower.

Us peasants who don't use commie math also don't live where it get's cold enough to need a towel warmer.

Lanx Lanx what is the nameplate draw on the thing? Are you sure it's on a 15A circuit?

So... now I have had the drain under the house replaced. So in theory I'm no longer creating an impromptu septic system under my house and the middle of the slab SHOULD recede back down to normal elevation....

Question is how long I need to wait to call it "back to where it should be", since then I'll need to assess the drywall situation and where and what needs repairs before painting.

well from what I can tell it's drawing less than an amp. Unless you are burning old ass 600w heat lights and or incandescent lamps you should be fine. My (up to ya) want to change that circuit to a GFCI for added protection in case of a short on the rack. It would automatically trip and not fry ya.

I'd say a full year for all seasons or you may not get it 'all' iifc you are in Texas and I do remember it get's cold/icy there.

Caveat: I'm just an electrician. We *think* we know it all but we *probably* don't.

I'm in N. Texas, I suspect in the next 2 months we'll have "winter" and by that I mean a couple weeks where the low will get below freezing, we might have "Super winter storm" which would mean 2-3 days of it staying below freezing.
Then we have the wet season which usually lasts until May. Then the heat.....

The foundation guy and the plumber both said 3-6 months. So I figure what was a goal to do drywall and paint the interior of the house for holiday meal hosting this year, just becomes doing drywall and painting to host holiday dinners next year.

The part super rustling my jimmies (past the $18k on the drain/plumbing work) is that we packed all the books and things off the bookshelves in the house in prep for moving them to paint walls (and in this household that's like an elementary school library worth of books it felt like) and they're all boxed up in our pantry, my workshop, and the enclosed patio/sunroom. Plus I moved the bookshelves which lined my gameroom out to the patio/sunroom. So we're in this limbo of do we leave them all packed for a whole year and our house looking like crap or not...

Isn't home ownership fun!

Few years ago one of my supers was going home for the Xmas holiday (in this instance home was Nebraska) then I get a call from him, they punted due to cold weather and went to Texas instead ---when they had a freeze storm and the power was off for most of a week. Seems like Texas doesn't listen to anyone, including mother nature!

My neighborhood was built in the 60's and still has the overhead power infrastructure to show for it. At least once a year we will have an outage for one reason or another lasting a couple/few days. To the point that when i recently got the electrical panel replaced (another long painful homeowner story), I chipped in the extra hundo or so to have him put an interconnect and 220 inlet on the outside of the house I could plug my 13kw generator to for those times.

Oh and additional "boxed ALL the shit up" jimmy rustling. I had to get something out of a box that was behind the boxes from the gameroom, so I had to move some of them out of the way, when I picked up one big box, it was the one we packed the majority of the liquor cabinet into, and as I pivoted the bottom of the box ripped open and failed. My workshop smelled like the 4th day of a bad frat party for a solid 48 hours. Silver lining, of the few bottles that survived it was essentially all the best whisky. Additional note, was it made me realize my wife and I really haven't been drinkers of any note since pre-covid. The survivors :

Yeah it only draws 100 watts. You could put 10 of them on a 15 amp circuit and still have room for a few LED bulbs.

I have an unopened bottle of rum from when we went to St. Lucia on honeymoon in 2008 and an unopened bottle of rum from when we went to Jamaica in 2012. Wife cannot drink for medical reasons and I don't drink and if I did it sure as hell would not be sweet ass rum.
