Absolutely. They almost certainly make the inside part just for that fan, for that purpose. I've done it before. SO MUCH easier than swapping out the whole unit with a new one.

Even if you can't find the correct replacement, you can also likely find a universal motor/fan you can mount in the existing piece.

I bet they also developed some shortcuts, too, like when the next word would be obvious: "Is the next word 'the'?" or a character name. "She asked Gwe..." "So, Gwendolyn, right?"

Depends on the lights, but most strings can daisy chain together. They also make weather proof extension cords with a few outlets on the end, as well as weatherproof power strips. But as an exterior illumination veteran, I think you can likely do what you want without a power strip.

Also a suggestion I'd have is look into a "dusk to dawn" xmas light controller. They are cheap and can turn the lights on at dusk, and off at any number of hours later, or it can just wait until dawn to turn them off. I have a few and love them.

You will get so tired of connecting and disconnecting a hose everyday, that you won't do it, and that one day it's going to freeze, and you're going to have a nasty flood. Just don't do it. There are so many issues here, like why do you need a hot water heater in your shop, versus running a hot water line out to the shop? But the problem there is regardless of what you do, you're going to go a while without using the hot water, or the hot water heater in the shop, and it's going to freeze, and it's going to break, and it's going to leak and cause a flood. Just don't do it.

If I were considering this, what I would do is I would run a hot water line to a frost-free spigot on your house, and then if I want hot water in the garage or shop I would run a hose out there, and when I turn on the hose in a few minutes I'm going to have hot water. When I turn off the hose and disconnect it, everything's fine. If I turn off the hose and forget to disconnect it, the frost-free spigot is still going to save my ass.

GFCI circuits are not usually connected to lighting circuits. This is why you usually find that bathroom and kitchen outlets, but not lights, are on the same circuit. This is not universal. I would suspect either there really is a breaker tripped, the breaker is defective, or perhaps there is a loose connection somewhere in the lighting circuit. I literally just had this happen. My living room ceiling fan just stopped working after years and years. The circuit it's on is fine. I traced it to a junction box in the attic, that runs to the fan, where the power wires had come undone from the wire nut. Go figure.

Since gas and electric heat in entirely different ways, the reasons they are not heating are unrelated. For the gas dryer, well, we have no history, so it could just have been dead. The electric dryer probably got damaged in transport, OR the new electric was not hooked up properly. It is possible, although unlikely, to install a 240v outlet improperly, so that the dryer runs but won't heat.
