Electrical Code Requirements For Bathrooms And Kitchens
When you hire an electrician to finish your wiring system installation for your home bathroom and kitchens you should make sure that all electrical codes are met. Ask the electrician if he or she is aware of all the local county, city, and state codes. Kitchens have lots of different appliances and bathrooms have many different areas that are close to moisture so each of these home areas have specific rules and regulations that must be met in order for your house to meet requirements and be eligible for electric fire hazard insurance. Here are some general tips and rules when it comes to being sure your wiring, outlets, and switches are connected and installed properly throughout your bathroom and kitchen areas.
1.Bathroom Wiring Set Up and Installation - Believe it or not most bathrooms demand a lot of electricity and power in order to keep the conveniences we all enjoy possible. Because of the power needed it is crucial that a separate circuit be dedicated to these areas. For families of three or more you will almost always be using devices such as electric razors, electric toothbrushes, hair dryers, lights, ventilation systems, heating lamps, and heaters.
Heaters when installed should be given a separate 20 amp circuit in order to be safe! Any outlet that is put inside your "home room" for safety reasons must be ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI). Also keep in mind that for lighting fixtures they should almost always be moisture resistant because of sinks, showers, and bathtubs.
The types of outlets to use can be purchased for a low price at Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, or Menard's home improvement centers. These outlets include outlets with varying voltages and amperage such as 120 volt, 15 amps with a NEMA of 1-15, a NEMA 1-20 which is 120 V by 20 Amp and a 220-240 Volt to 15 Amp outlet! The classifications are simple but for bathrooms you may need one of each.
2. Kitchen Wiring Set Up and Installation - Kitchen spaces regardless of their size will always need a separate circuit and in most cases two separate circuits. Why two circuits? Well kitchens always have many appliances running or that need to be run in order to cook food, warm up leftovers, keep food cold, make toast, and wash dishes. Think about what appliances you use on a daily basis and how big of an electrical load they use.
Normal homes have kitchens that equipped with refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, toasters, coffee makers, ovens, stove tops, and garbage disposals. Typically electric code requirements ask that a 240 volt circuit with grounded wiring is installed to support large appliances like your oven. The other outlets must be two receptacle at the minimum. Remember safety comes first with high voltage appliances and electrical wiring so consult with an experienced electrician before doing any work yourself.
For even more tips, advice, suggestions, and information about getting new wiring systems in your kitchens and bathrooms you can speak with a local electrician. From your local contractor you will be able to get a written estimate and home inspection for your wiring as well.

Negative Or Positive Ions - Friends Or Foe - The Vitamins of the Air
Have you ever felt tired and uncomfortable inside a big office building, or while working on your computer surrounded by all the many peripherals that come with them? Or even in the kitchen surrounded by your microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, electric jug and toaster, etc. (The kitchen is the most dangerous room in every home!)
On the other hand, perhaps you remember feeling relaxed and energised standing near the ocean watching the surf crashing in, or experiencing the wonder of a waterfall?
There is a scientific reason for feeling so invigorated at the ocean/waterfall, and it has nothing to do with diet and exercise. "Thank goodness!" I hear you say.
Then why is it?
Answer: It's all in the 'ions'. Ions are invisible molecules in the air that have gained - or lost - an electrical charge. The air around us is filled with these electrically charged particles. They are generated in invisible billions by cosmic rays, radioactive elements in the soil, ultraviolet radiation, storms, waterfall, winds, and the friction of blowing sand or dust. Every time we draw a breath they fill our lungs and are carried by the blood to our body cells. They appear to have a lot to do with such varied things as: influencing our moods; causing cattle to grow skittish before a storm; start rheumatic joints to "tingle" when the barometer falls; and give ants advanced warning that it's going to rain, in time to block their tunnels; as well as countless other duties.
Depending on where you are - and the things surrounding you - these electrically charged molecules will be your friend or foe - "Negative" or "Positive". Negative ions are the 'good guys' in the ion partnership.
This is the ONLY situation where 'Negative' is better than 'Positive'!
As far as ions are concerned, you can be 'positive' that 'negative' is a breath of fresh invigorating air, providing a self-healing capacity of the body, and clarity of the mind.
Once they reach our bloodstream, negative ions produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our energy. They also protect against germs in the air, resulting in decreased irritation due to inhaling various particles that make you sneeze, cough, get throat irritations and asthma attacks.
How do Negative Ions Purify the Air?
Most particles in the air have a positive charge or are positively ionised, while negative ions have a negative charge. Negative ions are drawn to these positively charged particles by magnetic attraction to one another. When there is a high enough concentration of negative ions in the air, they will attract to floating particles in large numbers. This causes the particle to become too heavy to remain airborne. As a result, the particle will drop out of the air, keeping them out of the breathing zone and out of the respiratory system where it can trigger breathing and health problems.
The pollutant particles can then be collected by normal cleaning activities, such as dusting or vacuuming. If the particle is forced back up into the air, it will again be ionised and quickly settled out of the breathing zone once again.
Okay, so all these invisible ions are capable of all these fabulous things and more. It would seem like they will still continue to perform this magic without any input from us. Anyway, it all sounds very 'scientific' and most of us didn't do that well in science at school. Most people would start to glaze over at this stage and leave their positive ion environment 'grumpy', 'coughing' to get a tissue. Why bother finding out what causes this invisible battle between negative and positive ions anyway. But for those of us who like to cheer for the team who is trying so hard to make us feel better, let's find out a bit about the opposition side.
Unfortunately for the negative ions, the 20th century created a plethora of wonderful new electrical marvels, and we all raced out to buy them to make our lives easier. The 21st century has taken these inventions one step further by making them even smaller, so we can fit even more into our homes and offices, plus carry them around with us to other places. Add to this the new transmission networks, electrical lines, satellite dishes, etc and we have created an imbalance in the entire environment in which we live and breathe. All these new advances create more positive ions, and they are easily winning the battle. The result is all this new technology is making us sick, tired and cranky.
These positive ions can penetrate deep down our lungs and can cause us to feel tired, weak, and have a weak immune system, lack of concentration, anxiety, migraines, psychological disturbances and lack of sleep, all kinds of respiratory tract problems.
NO LIFE FORM CAN EXIST IF THERE IS NO BALANCE IN THE ENVIRONMENT
Here Are Some Examples of Concentration of Negative Ions in Different Environments:
Waterfalls 95,000 - 450,000
Mountains, seashores, breezy forest 50,000 - 100,000
Breezy country meadow 5,000 - 50,000
Cities 100 - 2000
Rooms and offices 40 - 100
Major capital cities at rush hour does not even reach 100
Rooms with Air Conditioner 0 - 20
* Approximate Concentration of Negative Ions per cubic centimetre (cc3)
Scientists have known about the positive affects of negative ions since the 18th century. I could give you the results of countless controlled experiments proving their value. But it is too much information for an article. Hopefully you will be interested enough to explore further after reading this article.
So what can you do about it now that won't seem like a failed school science experiment, or result in purchasing massive ionising machines for the home and office? You will be changing something you CAN'T SEE, but will definitely begin to FEEL the benefit almost immediately.
The solution is simple, natural, beautiful, and inexpensive. If you don't want the expense of buying a Therapeutic Ioniser; have beeswax candle burning throughout your; or piles of binchotan and bamboo charcoals; your perfect solution could be the same as mine - Himalayan Salt Crystal Lamps. I have them throughout my home and office in a variety of sizes and designs.
The salt crystal lamps have a similar effect to an ioniser. However, the natural ionisation of a crystal lamp cannot be compared to an ioniser. An ioniser can only have an ionisation effect.
Salt crystal lamps have many advantages in many aspects, including improving the general atmosphere of a room. If the lamp is next to a television or computer monitor its effect - through its electromagnetic field - is in approximately the 100-160Hz zone. Our brain waves however, produce only 8Hz according to the Schuman resonance frequency. Therefore, the body is exposed to up to 20 times higher frequency patterns than it is generally used to. The consequences of this exposure results in nervousness, insomnia, lack of concentration and weaknesses. In addition, there will be an accumulation of more free radicals in the body, known to be a cause of cancer. The salt crystal lamp binds the negative ions with the excess positive ions. When the lamp becomes warm, it absorbs moisture and the crystal will be damp on the surface. This builds up the ion field. Through the lamp, the positively charged atmosphere of a room can be neutralised. In addition to this, the colours of the salt crystal stones have a healing effect. The therapeutic value of the coloured crystals can reorganise the epidermal layer of our skin. Tests made with children having ADHD symptoms have shown that after only one week of exposure to crystal salt lamps, their symptoms subsided. After removing the lamps, the symptoms returned.
A series of scientific studies show that salt crystal lamps can increase the negative ion count by up to 300%.
HIMALAYAN SALT CRYSTALS ARE ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL ENHANCERS OF LIFE FORCE, THEREBY SUPPORTING A GREATER SELF-HEALING CAPACITY OF THE BODY AND CLARITY OF THE MIND.
Plus they are so very, very beautiful! I no longer use my overhead lights. Instead I use a combination of table lamps and salt crystal lamps. The visual and health affect throughout the home is dramatic and so relaxing.
Which ever method you decide to use to assist in the battle between the ions, it is important to be proactive in supporting the negative ions today than ever before.
You will be able to learn more about negative and positive ions; health concerns; scientific experiments; and the natural benefits of Himalayan Salt Crystal Lamps, by downloading a free copy of my book "Negative Ions Creating Positive Vibes" at http://www.TheUniverseWithinUs.com.

The Fatal F7 Error on a GE Oven
The F7 error will come on while baking and sometimes completely unprompted. Often, after pressing stop and canceling the beeping that comes with the error, the bake and broil buttons stop working. Turning the oven off and then back on does not fix the problem. It's intermittent, but when it starts, it generally continues for a while and I have to leave the oven powered off. The manual says that an F7 error is related to the keypad.
