Oh Wow! That sucks - hope you can get that fixed up soon could be fire hazard too? "Everything is grounded except kitchen and appliances"? That seems backwards :o

Trust me, being a retired Firefighter I know about the fire hazard.
SUPPOSEDLY someone will be out here tomorrow/today to fix it.
I picked up a quick tester from Amazon, only the kitchen, bathrooms and master bedroom have proper grounded circuits. Apparently when they had the walls open during the remodel the inspector could see the new wiring. The rest of the house they just put new 3 prong outlets, hiding the out of date existing 2 conductor wiring. At leas tits copper and not aluminum. They have to install GFCI outlets in place to mitigate the issue.
Fortunately I have battery backups on 95 percent of all my computers, servers, printers and electronics. Cleans the incoming electrical signal, provides surge protection, grounding (a bit) and of course backup power. But even losing one of those can get expensive!
On top of all that the gas company turned off our gas Thursday. We had a leak in the backyard line. "Plumber" came out the next afternoon, dug a hole and split like a fart in the wind. I went out there to see how things were going and all I found was a hole and a rusty pipe. No explanations, solutions or anything! So yeah, no hot water either. My cold shower days were over more than 30 years ago when I left the Army.

Just an update on what is happening.
I had to get Code Enforcement involved, they came out and inspected. Let me know that according to their records and what they were seeing in the panel, walls and attic there was work done that has no associated permit. Soooo, they issued a Notice of Violation and the landlord has until Wednesday to pull a permit to repair/replace do what is necessary to satisfy Code Enforcement.
Hopefully by the end of the week all is good. I tried firing up my PC and letting my RTX3090 go to town and the breaker popped TWICE. So, still grounded for a while more.
But you can be darn sure, when I'm in the air again I WILL put up some really interesting flights for y'all!

Oh wow what a fiasco! Hopefully that is all sorted for you soon so you can resume normality!
Re: VFR "Coastal Series" - sonjamichelle - 10-11-2022
We just got the call this evening from Code Enforcement that permits were granted and work should begin within the week. So, hopefully in about two, I can begin printing, painting, flying and streaming again!

That is great news Sonja!

AND! I started organizing my studio. I can see floor and desktops!!!
Once we get the electrical done and my workshop out back ready, we can move the stored boxes and crap out of our respective workspaces in the house.

Took me the better part of three days to complete, but I have all my AI aircraft installed.

I should be able to do the next leg of the Coastal Flights pretty soon. Two house moves in less than three months really zapped our energy. BUT, good news is the electrical here is MUCH better. We can run multiple computers at once now!!! WITHOUT blowing breakers!!! YAY!
Now I just have to finish setting up my office/studio/workshop, hehe.

Great to hear Sonja! Just in time for the holiday flying season :wink:
Re: VFR "Coastal Series" - sonjamichelle - 04-26-2023
FINALLY got the time to put my FlightPC back together. Moving, setting up, cold weather, lack of time has been really in the way.
Then I had the 4TB SSD holding all my flight stuff fail. I was wondering why I was getty cruddy performance. I'm reinstalling all of my AI now and a few more add-ons. The couple of test flights I did on the new drive went smoothly.
I'll be able to resume the VFR flights soon. ;-)
