What is the best paint for a porch? Does it have to be primed first?

Freezer dedicated non-GFCI receptacle in basement

Pouyan 11/09/2026 - 10:43 AM

We would like to put a freezer in our unfinished basement. All the reciprocals are GFCI per code. We understand that most freezers generally do not perform well with these plug points (causes breaker tripping). Is it possible under code to install a single non GFCI receptacle dedicated for the freezer.

Had a shower installed in May of this year and is now leaking. Would appreciate an assessment as to what went wrong and how it can be fixed.
