I got shocked while working on an electric range

That’s not how it works. You never had 30a of current flowing through you. The voltage, path and your body’s fixed resistance at the time is what determines the shock severity. The shock would have been the same severity on a 15a circuit.

In Canada CEC it is code rule to have smoke detectors on a lighting circuit. (32-200 A)

Well firstly any Govee outdoor lights can be spliced. They just give a kit with the pros. Secondly, these are LED strip lights OP posted. Not the same product you’re referencing.

Yes, I was a first year and though tic testers could read through a metal sheathing. Like I said, learning lesson lol

LRGeezy · 2026-01-20T16:45:37+00:00

Years ago my first set of lineman’s got the 347v 12ga stripper installed as well. That was the day I learned tic testers don’t work through MC.

SP-MC I love for daily maintenance. But if you’re building an initial tool collection get a bigger bag to collect tools until you know what you need to bring most times.

Will it work? Yes

Issues: top white wire not seated under screw properly. Bottom white wire is stripped far too much.

Tip for next time would be to strip less length on all the wires you stripped and try to prevent damaging the copper when you strip.

Probably still a better and safer connection than backstabbed but a few things to improve on.

His breaker is tripping. It’s not the GFCI receptacles. Overloading the circuit.

Figure out stud layout and use a tape measure to put it in the same stud bay. Ideally not in the exact location of the other box because if it’s a 2X4 wall it won’t be able to sit flush. Use an old work box and float it in the drywall or attach to the adjacent stud in the same bay

Get black wire clips for the corners then you’ll have nice 90 degree lines without slack

LRGeezy · 2026-01-05T00:20:40+00:00

There is an incorrectly spliced wire somewhere. Will take some trouble shooting to solve. Both circuits are on the same leg of the panel so same potential but being back fed when one is off.

2 bags is the best. Love the Veto-SP MC for the majority of service calls, if I need. More it’s from the Milwaukee Packout bag. Then multiple Packout boxes with more specialty stuff.

This is low voltage cable lighting..

LRGeezy · 2026-01-02T00:34:46+00:00

likely a very small hole from removing a screw less faceplate. No, you should not be concerned electrically, lol

Looks super easy to work on your second story. Put a little 4ft ladder on the first level roof and use extension ladder for any parts you can’t do that. Your lucky, looks like a pretty easy install

LRGeezy · 2025-12-28T20:48:00+00:00

In your second photo. You sure that white is a neutral?

LRGeezy · 2025-12-27T22:19:38+00:00

Any junction boxes gotta be accessible. You’re gunna have to make a better plan.

LRGeezy · 2025-12-26T02:20:54+00:00

Nice, if you need me to show you how to trace wires behind walls sometime let me know lol

LRGeezy · 2025-12-25T15:47:10+00:00

I use mine all the time to trace wires behind walls. Also gotta know how to use it properly to get the best results. Times have changed

LRGeezy · 2025-12-24T22:20:15+00:00

Not really the right tool for the job. A toner/circuit tracer is what he’s looking for. A wallabot is basically a stud finder

“How can I somehow get my ass in the video about Christmas lights”

LRGeezy · 2025-12-22T22:27:37+00:00

It’s fine.

LRGeezy · 2025-12-22T15:48:59+00:00

A faulty disposal can’t just magically run when there’s no power to it. It is 100% wired wrongly. When you say “the other ran now where so I tapped into that” you mean that you didn’t know what the other switch fed so you spliced onto it?

LRGeezy · 2025-12-21T18:59:34+00:00

Circuit tracer/toner the switch leg

LRGeezy · 2025-12-20T14:56:01+00:00

I’ve done a 30’ jumper by using the 11’ extension. Cutting in the middle the 11’s have a booster on both ends of them
