    Have you guys seen PunchDown Outlets?

    the romex wire itself isnt stripped. you just treat it like cat 5. with a "call for a quote" price to buy the tool. I ran into t these in a mobile home. contrary to the imaging, the maker embedded them in the wall. so they lay more flush. So you gotta cut the things out. they notoriously short...

    In your country, do you use pipe to run wire through very much?

    omg the arrogance of my trade, I swear. never ONCE did I say i didnt know how to bend pipe. I was asking people IN OTHER COUNTRIES how common is it. Second... its not "conduit" its PIPE. if you commonly call emt, "conduit" instead of Pipe, thats your problem. we are in different parts of the...

    Three way and single pole

    ok, so here we are back at the Y example 1598834577 Now, your question is answered if you think on it. For a light to work, we need a hot and neutral. In my picture, my Hot and neutral are located downstairs. If I want to tap off of all this for some other light somewhere, or an outlet or...

    Three way and single pole

    ok just erase everything you are thinking and start over. Lets use a water illustration. I got a hose that comes from the backyard spout. I want to split the line. So I put a "Y" connector. then I run those two hoses straight to the same location across the backyard. So now, Here I am...

    Adding can lights to existing unutilized switch

    your final answer of "yes" is true. Now I will add on to that correct answer. The hot comes into the room, gets split by a switch. then on to the light. therefore when you move the switch up or down, the light goes off or on. Now that light, lets say, has another light right next to it. So now...

    Running wiring in a garage ceiling joists.

    that cable is technically supposed to be strapped every 54 inches (5'6") once youre in the air. Clearly you can do that. Run it atop the beams. On the other hand, if you feel that you will slide things on the rafters , protect it by drilling it through the rafters. You dont HAVE to though. 2...

    Dimming lights in one room makes lights in another room flicker

    I'm sure it worked. But its like, when installing them, if people in the field, have to add things onto the product to assure there is no potential for customer call back, then that product needs to be doing that addition from the factory. Because knowing that the potential for flickering...

    Problem with radio in my car

    this is my generation type issues. the problem is the motor of the cassete player is starting to take a dump. It can no longer pull the tape, and sees it as "stuck" or at the end, and so it flips to the other side, which it cant play that direction either. Its like a bad transmission starting...
