so should i wait to move again

and how would i be able to ground it

What about commercial carpet tiles?

right, i did look into the gfci outlet. so basically the gfci only protects me and no extra protection on the equipment

hm i see, is is possible the outlet box is grounded or maybe the houise was wired for ground in the past? i just assumed the two prong outlet is ungrounded but i dont know too much.

is it possible for a two prong outlets to be grounded? i can always get a tester to see, or just ask the landlord if the wiring has been setup for ground before

thats actualy not impossible, there is a window very close to the outlet and im on the first floor, do you have a picture or video that would better describe this?

Correct I was also told to stay with R tires not D. Is that also correct?

No. Some 4x4 tile mfrs ship them in sheets and the webbing keeps the proper spacing during installation (just as it does with smaller or patterned tiles). Be sure to check for a pattern by spreading out a bunch in a square (I suggest at least 3’x3’) so you get a good look at how they match or relate to each other. If not, you run the risk of noticing too late, or worse having a visitor (like your father in law) point it out to you after the job is done.

Dual 3500# axles...means the total weight of the loaded trailer can be 7000#.

Don't go cheap on tires, you won't get the load rating you might neeed.

Just don’t do it. Not worth the cost of a new pc.

Look for a saw like this that will cut metal (this one says soft metal). Check HF, HD and Lowes. You will probably have to cut one handle off and improvise a new one.

splintered sausage, oooof.... Bad Memories.

That is the point of his post. Its a 2 prong outlet meaning it is not grounded.

Buy a good stud finder

Bad idea. Ground it.

I believe its called a plumbers wrench. Here is all the different kinds out there. Im not sure the exact one that would fit but if you show a image of what your dealing with the person at the store would be able to give you better guidance.

You absolutely can replace a 2-prong outlet with a 3-prong GFCI marked "no equipment ground." That's code-compliant in most of the US.

As others have said, though, you still won't get the benefit of a proper ground, just the ability to plug a 3-prong cable in and a degree of personal shock protection.

We used these tiles in our playroom over indoor/outdoor thin carpet. They worked great for 5 years, and then started to look pretty ratty. My advice would be to choose a tile that’s pretty thick, but smooth on the top instead of dimpled. The dimpled surface made it really difficult to keep clean, especially with play-doh/crumbs/dirt you might expect in a playroom. For a longer-term solution I’d suggest rolled vinyl flooring with some thick rugs on top for comfort.

interesting, thanks for the tip! do you happen to know the name of the socket type or the specific type of nut, aka what I'd search for?

And you need to read the OP

> it was code here for a whole year or two. It no longer is.

Eww, yuk! Jersey? LOL.

Home hardware stores have a special set of sockets for those types of nuts.

Are there any bathroom fixtures on or near the common wall? Like a sink, tub or commode? Other option would be termites? They can get into the center of a home through cracks in foundation, they typically will be in walls with moisture damage. I’d suggest having a licensed plumber inspect the areas for you to pinpoint what all is going on to help get it resolved.
