Something like a Lifeguard or an EYE. Preferably coated but clear is also good. I also don’t really want to spend a ridiculous amount of money on it.

Is that really considered to be hail? Or is it graupel? Hail is typically associated with severe thunderstorms. Graupel and sleet normally fall
during cold enough conditions. Hail is normally bigger than both sleet and graupel.
I didn't know that word ;)
Temperature dropped from 25°C to 6°C that day (77°F to 42°F)

The house I grew up in was built in 1973-74 and only had one GFCI protected outlet on a GFCI circuit breaker under the house in the crawl space.  They must have considered it an "outdoor" outlet, which was a new requirement in 1973 instead of a "crawlspace" outlet which wasn't required until 1990.  The bathroom vanity outlet wasn't a GFCI, as that wasn't required until 1975.  The kitchen counter outlets weren't either, as they weren't required until 1987.

Yeah, we do have them in the kitchen, and far too close to the sink for my liking. But a bathroom tends to be a lot steamier, and ours is so small you couldn't fit one in there anyway without it being within touching distance of someone in the bath.

As for drying your hair, as I said it gets steamy in there, and the mirror is useless..! We dry our hair either in the hallway, where there's a big mirror, or in the bedroom where there's an even bigger one..! And not near any water, either..!

Outdoors I always use a 110V centre-tapped transformer as used on construction sites to power anything I need out there, which isn't very often.

 @ Ria :  I've always heard of them being called "outlets"  I picked up "receptacles" here on LG . Honestly , having them in the bathroom is no different to me than having them in the kitchen , the garage or out in the yard . You can still get shocked when wet .  Now , if they were in the shower / tub area I'd have a BIG problem with them !

 @ fluorescent lover 40 : My problem with the wood plate is that it wouldn't allow a larger diameter plug (hair dryer) or something like a plug-in air freshener to by plugged in all of the way .
 The hospital grade was a freebie as a customer complained about the internal lighting not working in their ambulance . 

 @ icefoglights : exactly ! this plate could've been made way thinner than it is .

Actually, last weekend, so I'm a little late:  Wired up the ceiling light in the new room downstairs.  I went with the U-bent fixture that I picked up earlier this year.  However, I'm prepared for anything.  The ceiling box is fan rated, and I used 3-conductor cable running to the switch.  I put backing blocks in for the 2-foot square U-bent fixture, but I also put in another set of backing blocks for a 4-foot linear fixture too.  Almost ready to start hanging some sheetrock on the ceiling.

Those wood plates were always super thick.

Today I prepped one of my snowmobiles for summer storage and put the battery back in the motorcycle for the first time in 2 years.
