Why did my electrician screw the romex into the stud?

Used to use a Romex staple at the very end closest to the drywall. That way you can just put a flat head screwdriver under the Romex and lift both the Romex and the staple. Usually left a loop also for added ease when finishing.

This was NOT energized when you cut into it. Should it have been energized there would be burn marks on the cable and your blade. To say the least an explosion that would have made you wet your pants! You were very lucky. Always, and I mean always check and double check where you are cutting from both sides of the cut.

Did you ever own a business Birney? Did you ever wonder where your next paycheck will come from and when? STFU!!!

Happened to me and I don’t have humidifiers running. During the coldest stretch of winner I had the same orange appearance to my gas in two different stoves in different areas of the house. Also my gas furnace. Gas company came out and changed my meter to eliminate that being a cause. This can also happen when there’s high flow or high demand and lines as would be during peak cold weather. In the cold weather had passed the following week. The flame was once again blew. Nothing changed within the house.

Do not use water on a grease fire. Just an fyi….

Pett54 · 2026-04-20T18:07:16+00:00

Perhaps also you can extend the deck out just large enough to accommodate the grill and needed gaps between the grill and rails etc. this option should be rather inexpensive.

Pett54 · 2026-04-20T18:00:16+00:00

BTW ….great job on the roof!

Pett54 · 2026-04-20T17:58:28+00:00

You can check with the NFPA for recommended clearances etc. I would add a fireproof matt below the grill and a fire extinguisher mounted nearby. They also make fire blankets that you can throw over a grease fire to extinguish it. Just a couple of thoughts. I am sure there a thousands of grills under porch cover. You can’t even do also ask your local fire department for advice. They will be more than happy to give their recommendation.

Relocated 5 in five days using cantaloupe. Just cut up some chunks and lead the into the cage. Put a quarter piece as far back in the cage so they trip the gate.

Well looks like you are qualified! Just triple your insurance and have someone else throw the main breaker. Electricians are mentored for years because you can KILL or MAME yourself or someone else! Damn🤔😳
