Follow Emloh Electric for some really interesting information!

Let's talk about tamper resistance (TR). The receptacle on the left is not tamper resistant, the receptacle on the right is. The left receptacle is $0.77 and the right one is $1.50. In all other respects these receptacles are identical. If you notice the right receptacle has little shutters that block objects from being stuck in the outlet. The shutters do not move unless both are engaged at the same time. That prevents children, and curious electricians, from sticking objects in the receptacle.

Tamper resistance was initially required in the 2008 edition of the NEC. Today the list has grown to include all areas of a home including garages (attached and detached), child car facilities, public accessible areas of agricultural buildings, and many, many more places. As a principle if children are likely to be present tamper resistance is likely to be required.

Sure, a big box retailer will sell you the receptacle on the left, but it's not just less safe, it's not allowed in many places, including your home.

For a complete list of required areas consult NFPA 70 406.12

"You can't go onto the next chapter if you keep rereading the last one."

This was the last time I closed the door to the storefront. Even though it was open only a few months, a new opportunity came along and took us in a different direction. Bittersweet? Yes, but it's on to new adventures of igniting the ambiance and illuminating the moments!

Do not fret, you will still be able to get the delicious local honey and beeswax candles online or through social media

Here's to the next adventure and the beautiful journey!

This was another custom order! I had fun making the D20 dice and the colors were perfect. The shop will be closed this whole week and we'll open back up on January 3rd. During this time, feel free to message me and place an order. Lastly, I hope you all have a wonderful and happy New Year's!

Your one stop shop for beeswax candles, honey and gifts is getting easier and easier to find! Got the banner sign not too long ago and the permanent signs coming next month

I know it's not exactly easy to find us since we don't have our permanent signage up yet but for now, look for this sign in front of the door. It was a family effort so thank you very much!

This journey is just as awesome as the destination. We started putting in our shelving and used spalted maple. I love all the support that we've gotten as we continue to grow into our space. Thank you for being part of this adventure and the many more to come
