I have an electric outlet on the side of the barn used to plug in a heater to keep the horses water from freezing. The original one had a big plastic cover that the wasps loved to make nests in in the summer. In the winter you could plug in the heater then mostly close the cover to keep the weather out. So now the plastic hinge in broken so the cover falls off and water can get to the outlet. I am assuming this is why the GFCI tripped the other day. Does anyone know of a good outlet cover that can keep the water out when something is plugged in? If it can also keep the wasps out in the summer all the better but that might be a losing battle. The wife spraying a live electrical outlet with wasp spray scared me a bit.
