Freezer dedicated non-GFCI receptacle in basement
Pouyan 14/10/2026 - 9:22 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.

Can I install a new patio over an existing one?
Anonymous user 13/10/2026 - 2:24 PM
Hi, I'm hoping to get some advice. I have a patio in my backyard that's about 2m by 3.5m, sitting on a base of mortar and compacted sand. It's in pretty good shape, with no cracks or shifting. I'm thinking about raising it a bit and possibly expanding it to 5m by 5m. Someone suggested that I could just add 100mm of crushed stone over the current patio. Does this sound like a good idea? Apologies if I'm missing something here—I’m not quite sure what I'm doing.
