I have no idea what a step down transformer is but it seems a bit more involved than an outlet or light switch...

It just takes the voltage down to 12volts and then it powers the garden lights.

Here's to my leaky water heater that was still under warranty so it only cost me $350 to have it replaced last week.

I think they missed the target by a bit.

Hello...sooo shit is hitting the fan...we moved into our house in September and gave just started doing a whole finished basement and also put in a new fireplace and tile...yay
Well....in the process, we have had our fair share of issues...noticed our crawl space was seeping water so had our outside sewer lines inspected because saw bubbling from outdoor pipe where crawl space was...low and behold our whole line is collapsed and water is flowing toward the house instead of away...so cha Ching need new line out in
fireplace was put in by a bunch of simpletons I guess because that night notice dripping sound from old chimney cap up to...they came out and rigged up a “cap” (literally told my wife he just bent a piece of metal and screwed it in) well it’s pouring rain here in Ohio and now we have excessive amounts of water coming in
oh and this will now hold up our tile job and other jobs while we wait to hear back from fireplace company

We were told in our "disclosure" that there was a "small trickle" of water in the unfinished space of the basement during heavy rains.
Well... the first heavy rain and there was a damn waterfall coming over the basement wall from the crawlspace. All this was exacerbated because the gutters and drain lines to the street were clogged. We didn't get flooded but it created a feedback loop of water not being able to get away from the house because the sump was trying to pump into clogged drain lines.
We finally solved all these issues with gutter guards, replacing all the drain lines, and moving about 3 yards of dirt to slope around the basement wall. Our sump hardly runs at all now and the pit is usually bone dry by the end of winter.

Yep I’ll be investing in gutter guards soon too...had them in old house and loved them.
We are getting quotes right now about how much it will cost to replace all new pipes out to sewer...roto rooter wants a truck load of cash (fuck them)
