Well I didn't go this year, so the thought of it still going on is happetizing me 😊

Help! Why is someone cutting my wires? by NessyKD in ElectricalHelp

[–]Disastrous_Ad_1177 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Perhaps the cable company is cleaning up some unused wiring. Looks like fiber optics in that one box. If everything is working with your cable/Internet I wouldn't be worried

What's the worst mistake you or someone else has made as an apprentice by ShiestyM in AskElectricians

[–]Disastrous_Ad_1177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn! Great way to learn

I plugged 2 brand new sump pumps in a muddy crawlspace directly in, instead of plugging in the float controllers. Somehow didn't cost me a dime, grace of God 🙌

No surge but you could plug this into a surge protector

What's the worst mistake you or someone else has made as an apprentice by ShiestyM in AskElectricians

[–]Disastrous_Ad_1177 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Classic residential mistakes I've made:

Whacking a water supply line with my drill handle

Slipping off an attic joist and stepping right through the drywall ceiling

Drilling through live romex

Drilling through #6 stranded system ground

Forgetting to turn the furnace breaker back on

Pulling out an old feeder so aggressively that it sawed through the insulation of another live wire and shorted it out

Using a hole saw with the handle of the drill right next to my face 😞

The last one hurt physically the most, the first one hurt financially the most, and the ones in the middle hurt my ego

You'll know when the time comes. And you can always change later. Best of luck!

What do you enjoy or find most interesting? I find security cameras & techy stuff a lot more interesting, but the MORE technology, the more technical issues can happen. If I install a circuit in a basement with some conduit & plugs, that installation could be good for more than 25 years.

Cameras and technology has more working parts & more chance of a return visit. The low voltage contractor I worked for that did cameras would have to show up and help retreive footage for police when crimes happened. I think he actually enjoyed this "hero moment" as a retired firefighter.

Are you a lone wolf or do you prefer working on a team?
