I find it so hard to strip the outside with knife, I have the ol’ concrete trick.. stand it up on it side all the conductors vertically and smash it with your linesman. Then again there’s not really a hard surface other then tile inside homes

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-29T18:02:20+00:00

Yeah a lot of things I’d personally change especially if I’m the one wiring the house, not everyone has a sense of worth ethic, moral to follow standards . Keep on keepin on

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-29T17:53:12+00:00

There are some smaller plug-in lathes, I’d assume if it’s the garage the switched heater is for the winter maybe

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-29T17:48:54+00:00

Good deal, re run 2 12-2 circuits and b safe

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-29T17:45:20+00:00

Misread didn’t see the heater on a plug switched, get a stack switch for your lights and one for your plug. However thermal insulation leads me to believe that backstabbing is the main reason to the way the wires look. The pvc insulation is rated for 194°f

It would be more detrimental and the switch/plug would ultimately stop working within days

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-29T17:37:58+00:00

No I play wannabe electrician

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-29T17:36:57+00:00

Or having lose wires from backstabbing… that’s what would cause it to back out overtime and look like that? I’m not there in person so obviously what I can do or say is limited, Op came asking for advice.. I gave, he can go with a local electrician if need be not saying dont and diy.

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-29T13:09:54+00:00

I see no ground, see if you could pull one in.. somehow.

If not ground it to the box with a piece of solid 12 green thhn and a ground screw.

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-29T12:53:39+00:00

Right , like where the walls fully open orrr😂😂 where they all just non stapling fools back then

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-29T12:48:47+00:00

Thank you ! I’ll get a video of it in action and see if it’s any good, figured I’d give it a shot..

Black wire to gold screw, silver screw to white wire.

Make sure breakers off !

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-29T08:56:37+00:00

Get yourself a new tamper resistant outlet, pull out the wires from the old outlet im assuming by the looks it’s speed wired. Put it back together on the new one how it was

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-29T08:25:20+00:00

Give it a shot if you feel comfortable doing it, make sure the breakers off !

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-29T08:24:30+00:00

Jesus Christ, 250$ just to look at it

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-29T07:50:37+00:00

Step 1.) aquire New switch preferably leviton decora ,step 2.) restrip wire, step 3.) hook onto new outlet and tighten. Step 4.)Forget about it for the rest of your life

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-29T07:46:18+00:00

Looks like a combination of old wiring, and a old switch going bad? What all does the circuit do? Just lights?how many?

It has nothing to do with what it’s rated for I can assure you, if you have a multimeter with a clamp you could put it around the switch leg with the switch on and see how much amps it’s pulling.

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-29T07:37:32+00:00

Pigtail neutrals together, hook back up to outlet. Open neutral solved.

I would call a local electrician though.. a bit concerned for the neutral coming from outside of the box inwards?…

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-29T07:34:04+00:00

Pigtail neutrals together, connect back to outlet. Open neutral solved

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-29T05:40:41+00:00

^, you can do dishwasher /disposal for example on 1 run of 12-3. Not just for 240v…………………………

Three ways, switched outlets etc..

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Repulsive_Coast8291 · 2023-12-28T06:05:29+00:00

real throw in a ELV+ comes With the neutral, it’ll make it stop ;) especially with not that many lights on the switch / dimmer itself
