So I'm helping my dad with his kitchen remodel (or rather, he's helping me)... and since it's his house he is doing the electrical, which I'm not qualified to do. Dad has wired the 2 houses he built, so he does have some knowledge... but Dad's the type that acts like he knows what he's doing when he often doesn't, so I just wanted to check a couple things because I think his electrical knowledge might be a bit behind the times. Outlets over kitchen countertops need to be gfci protected and a minimum of 4' on center, correct? His old 1950's wire is ungrounded, but as I understand it you can still use the gfci without the ground provided they are labeled as ungrounded. I'm not sure that it will be possible to run new a grounded wire to the box... some genius put up some sort of snap-in drop ceiling that's tight to the floor joists in the finished basement where the box is, and you can't get to any of the wires (or add any) without completely destroying the ceiling. Does gfci protection include any lights and/or switches that might be near the sink? (and if so, within 6ft of what? the top of the sink? the head of the faucet?) Mom thinks she might want a separate switch for the light over the sink. Should it be wired with the outlets on that wall? (personally, I think it's silly to have a separate switched light over the sink, but she wants a pendant light there. and i've learned you don't argue with mom!) I guess it seems strange to me that if you have a 36" sink, that you would be required to have an outlet a minimum of 6" to the left and 6" to the right of the sink. Since there is a large window directly over the sink, I'd prefer not to have any outlets between the window trim and the backsplash, if it's allowable. Does the garbage disposal also have to be gfci protected, since its outlet will be under the sink? (Nachi.org says the NEC does not require it, it's optional.) We will be using an air switch. We are thinking about using a plugmold under the cabinets instead of outlets every 4 ft. Any tips on what plugmold to get, or what to avoid? The kitchen will have mainly 12 and 24" cabinets, and they are not european, so if we go that route, what do you suggest... putting in a 3/4" filler underneath the cabinets so that the plugmold can be continuous under several cabinets? And I assume you use a short piece of wiremold raceway between where the stub comes out the wall and where the plugmold begins? Finally, the undercabinet lighting. Any suggestions on what type to get? I'm leaning toward dimmable LED's just behind the front lip of the face frame. Or should they be a couple inches behind the face frame so as to not create a hard shadow line? Any thoughts on that? There will only be 2 areas of undercabinet lighting, maybe 4 or 5 ft on each side of their stove.

Hey guys, so I'm used to change the regular spin out bulbs. Today, the bulb in my washroom burnt out and I have no clue how to get the damn thing out! I can find anything to spin or press anywhere. I attached a picture. [ATTACH]41311[/ATTACH] Any ideas?
