And BTW - whatever is between you, your caulk, and your shower is between you, your caulk and your shower.

There are GFIs on doorbell ringers?

Hey Baby, if all that fails, go to walmart, buy a wireless, put the batteries in and mount it !

Do you know how to put the batteries in ?


What about the mounting part ?

We are here to help ! :)

Nope, the power is transformed down to 12v. Ain't no way they would put 120v to the doorbell.

Not a GFI, just a ground interrupt. A break between the power and ground that is closed when the bell is depressed. That break can be closed in either direction.

Did you try Phob's advice? I think he explained it well...

See, this is why household electrical wiring and I don't mix.

My old house in KC didn't have any ground wires; only hot and neutral, I think you call it. I can't remember how many times I shocked myself. The worst was when I put in a new light by the door while it was raining.

Then again, I once mistakenly put a wrench over the terminals of a car battery while I had the wrench in my hand. That was unpleasant.

What kind of language is this? Manspeak?

Just make sure you don't take the splatum to ground. That can ruin the zork.

If you'd like, we could find a volunteer to stand outside your door and chime when someone approaches.

I bet Skip will do it.

I think I understand the shower threads now.

Shhhh, honey. Men are talking.

Isn't that just a switch?

Sure, except a switch is semi-permanent. Flip on, stays on. Flip off, stays off.

But my point was, it's non-directional, so changing leads 1-for-1 isn't gonna change anything.

Appreciated. ROFL
