I installed a new outlet in my bathroom for a bidet with a heated toilet seat.  Only need the one outlet so I got one with a nightlight instead of a second outlet.  This outlet is downstream of a gfci and I tested that functionality as well.  This is a repeat bb for the straw badge.

Replaced an outlet that was 1/2 broken today.  The bottom worked but the top didn’t.

Note: I hearby certify this complete for the AC outlet.  You may want to look at submitting the light switch in the specific BB for that, and replacing your thermostat might work for the Electricity Badge Oddball category.

Hello! My she shed needs an electrical outlet before winter. Extension cords don't like to be snow plowed-over! Lol! So, I dug a new trench to the she shed, buried wire inside carflex, and installed a new outlet. It works!
