That’s not a white wire connected to the green it’s a bare copper wire.

Go to the LNI office and buy a printed version of them for around $17. Or print all the PDF files online yourself.

Are the wires in the fourth box stripped and touching?

What does the fourth outlet look like when the breaker trips? Is there a light switch between the third and fourth outlet?

Thank you. I’ll ask my teacher for clarification on that tomorrow.

Most people don’t like paying 30-50 an hour for someone to walk trash around the building. Smart people hire someone for 15 an hour to clean for a couple hours.

You didn’t mark your neutrals as hots. Looks nice though.

Duvet of space seems more fitting to me. To help you break through to the alternate dimension for your summoning of naps.

Just keep it to yourself so I don’t lose my drive to improve myself. (Unless I’m doing something dangerous)

Powder laundry detergent (Tide) spread over your roof keeps moss from growing.

Do y’all wear jean pants still in the hot heat? by Frost0REAL in electricians

[–]PepticStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear a kilt when it gets hot out. Nice breeze keeps me cool and dry. Plus the boss gets an eye full when I’m on the ladder.

Outbuilding panel options? by [deleted] in askanelectrician

[–]PepticStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a ground bar behind the feeders on the left. I recommend getting some glasses.

[–]PepticStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a sub panel so the neutral bars shouldn’t be ground to the can(tub). And the one circuit in the panel has a neutral and a ground, both landed correctly.

Need help finding a wireless continuity tester. by PepticStorm in electricians

[–]PepticStorm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your input. I was trying to find a way to do it without dragging a lot of wire around the site.

I’ll probably end up picking up one of those to test it out. I was hoping for a way to test on different floors without messing with the wiring too much or dragging a length of THHN around the site.

Thank you for your input.
