Waving Hi to you great folks from my iPad.
Good evening. I was having a rough time this afternoon with a big diesel welder. It’s about 36 years old and I’m having trouble finding a correct wiring diagram. I’ll go back after it in the morning.
The wife went today and finished the shopping for thanksgiving. I’m going to make hash brown casserole tomorrow night.
Your ground wire thinking sounds totally logical to me. Not an electrician either. I've done very basic electrical tasks like - replacing outlets, installing light fixtures and ceiling fans. Nothing major though.
I was looking up how LED puck lights are installed. It seems there are some different wiring methods; some direct and some using either 12V or 24V transformers.
As to troubleshooting; Google search said "Inspect all connections for any loose wires or corrosion. Poor connections often result in issues such as flickering or dead LEDs." Same one said that if you have one or more transformers to "Inspect the Power Supply: Test your LED Driver is functioning correctly and providing the appropriate voltage and current." Also "Frequent LED burnout can stem from voltage fluctuations or poor heat dissipation." There was more, but those seemed to be the most common problems I saw.
Perfect.
If it was me I would ask him/her to explain how your LED puck lights are wired/connected. IIRC your home was moved to your land in two sections? Is it possible that one, or more, of the electrical connections became loose in the process? Or perhaps there is a bad wire somewhere? Or maybe when they setup your home they didn't tighten a wire (or two) they should have?
I don't know, those would be some of my questions. Perhaps the electrician can safety check the homes wiring for you. Just to be on the safe side.
I just found out that we have to go to dinner tomorrow night after work to our youngest daughter’s. The boyfriend’s parents are going to be there so it sounds like it might be an engagement announcement. I guess we won’t be doing any cooking tomorrow night. I really like the boyfriend and am happy for them but it’s kinda bad timing the day before thanksgiving when we have to host.
I really miss DavidOck - his posts here and elsewhere. The Comics and GIF's. His bits of wisdom. <sigh>
He also knew about all things "electrical".

After 2 weeks I'm down to 60% juice in my Lost Mary disposable. Seem to be hitting it quite a lot. The pack says they are good for 15 days after opening the bag and I'm past that. Don't really see how a vape could have a 15 day expiry time.
Had a nice experience with Amazon yesterday. I bought a home security system for $350. I went back to the page yesterday to check up some stuff on adding SD cards and they were on sale for $199. Clicked on the price history button and they were $350 in Oct. Beginning of Nov they went down to $250, then $200 with the 25% Black Friday discount. I got it a week ago, but seemed to have been charged the Oct price.
I got on Chat and talked for a long time. The guy couldn't figure it out. Eventually he said the only thing he could offer me was to send back the one I bought and then order it again at the Black Friday price, which I did. Maybe he just figured I would do that anyway, which I had already figured out. So I get $150 back. I do have to wait 5 to 7 days for the refund but I'm happy.

Thanks for the info. In replacing the lights there was no transformer present, just direct wiring. Yes, the house was moved in 2 sections and the setup guys did a poor job connecting the electrical, which is why I already have a relationship with an electrician. He came out a fixed their screwups. It is possible that this is related to the move, but somehow I doubt it, unless a ground wire didn't get fixed or has since come loose. I'm gonna leave the issue with the professional.
Well bummer. I was going to go to my brother's house for Thanksgiving but sister in law has the flu.
