I have a working receptacle that gas 3 romex wires connecting to it. Set 1 is a 14/2 and set 2 is 14/3 and set 3 is 14/2. The only hot wires are the red and black from set 2. Here is how the outlet is wired. Set 1 white is connected to bottom left of receptacle and black is connected to red of set 2. Set 2 white is connected to top left rear of the receptacle and black is connected to the top right of the receptacle. Set 3 white is connected to the top left and black is connected to the bottom right. My goal is tone remove this outlet and install a gfi about 3 feet higher.

There is not enough thread left to tighten new faucet
Can anyone please give me any suggestions on attaching the water supply line to a new Moen faucet. I replaced my old vanity top with a new one & also am adding a new faucet & I have run into a snag. There is not enough thread left to attach the water supply line after screwing on the wing nut as tight as possible. The new vanity top is quite thick & once the wing nut that holds the faucet is tightened, there is not enough thread left to tighten the water line enough so it won't leak. Any suggestions please? Thanks
Properly cutting siding on gable.
I am on the home stretch of my siding project I have a 1 1/2 story home and all I have left is the one side of the house that is a full story and a half and the gable above my garage. I am ok with cutting my angles for my gable. My problem is I cant figure out how to cut my gable above the garage because I have the roof below and the roof above and I know that my siding has to remain straight and level and I would have to cut my angle at my roofline but I just cant seem to figure out how to do it for some reason. I know if someone can get me started I will be fine I just cant seem to figure it out.

25 Actionable Social Media Strategies You Can Implement Today
The full ebook includes 25 social media strategies that we’ve pulled from some of the most popular Buffer blog posts. Each of the 25 is something that we’ve personally tried or currently have on our to-do list. In every case, these are strategies that we greatly recommend trying. Here’s the full list:
- Share the same content multiple times
- Include an animated GIF in “thank you” tweets
- Add to your Buffer in bulk
- Move your social sharing buttons around (or get rid of ’em)
- Use current events to boost your Facebook post visibility
- Use BuzzSumo to see who’s sharing your content

- Test your posting frequency. Here’re some ideas.
- Create a 4:1 ratio of types of tweets/updates.
- Hide your vertical Pinterest images in your articles by changing their height & width.
- Sort your stats to find your best updates
- How to show your boss or client the value of social media
A sample chapter from the book
This is the first chapter from the book: Tip #1 – Share the same content multiple times.
Each strategy is short and to-the-point, with an explanation on how to get started and why we’ve found the strategy to work.
What to do with all these strategies
One thing we love to mention with recommendations like these is to treat them more as inspiration rather than prescription.
Use these strategies as the basis for your own experiments on social media rather than adopting them straight away as your new normal.
We’ve tried to keep this in mind as we test out new strategies here at Buffer, and it’s an area that I feel I can definitely keep improving. An example that comes to mind: We often hear that there are a few ideal times to publish social media updates during the day. And every time I hear these studies I seem to adjust my Buffer schedule straightaway. Turns out, few of these best times have ended up to be true for us. Our best times seem to be at non-peak hours or at different intervals of the day, given our international audience.
The takeaway: Test out these strategies for your social media plan, and continue on with the ones that work.
The strategies mentioned in this ebook are the ones that have worked for us—for whatever reason—and we think it’d be cool if they’d inspire you all to try new things or think outside the box.
And we’d love to hear back on how your experiments go!
Grab your free copy of the ebook. And send in your feedback!
Ebooks are a new experiment for us also. We’d love to learn:
Is this type of content helpful for you?
Would you like us to do more?
I’d be so grateful to hear any thoughts or feedback here in the comments on whether you’d like us to continue to pursue more ebooks down the line. I know I’ve got lots of room to improve on the ebook front also, so any thoughts on your experience with this version would be so greatly appreciated!
