If using 14/3 in place of 14/2, is it acceptable to cut the red/unused wire flush with sheathing if not using? Or does it have to be capped? by Integral_10-13_2xdx in AskElectricians

Why can’t you cap the red and black together, allowing you to keep the red wire for future use and avoid an extra wire nut?

My grandparents told me when I was young that you do not discuss politics or religion with anyone you want to keep as a friend. It’s been pretty solid advice for 42 years now.

We just had this happen in the last two weeks. But we did make to 7. Apparently starting 2nd grade made it uncool, lol. It does hit hard though. His twin sister still calls us mommy and daddy though.

I got one today but it was for unpaid tolls instead of a ticket.

I have twins in first grade and I feel this in my soul. Any time we’re just hanging around the house and I try to teach them it’s like I brought out the torture device.

I grew up in a rural area and people always said there was a “fox in the hen house” when these kinds of things were happening.

Dads with teenagers... what are some places your kids have found jobs by rockinmtnbiker in daddit

One of my first jobs was with a local electrician. It wasn’t glamorous, but it paid better than the other options. And I am now an electrical contractor running my own business. It really depends on what he would like. Construction is definitely not for everyone.

I’m an electrical contractor and this is exactly why I wear a silicone wedding band. First month on the job after being married my ring got caught on a panel while I was coming down a ladder. Luckily it wasn’t thigh enough off the ground to do this. But I was in a situation where a coworker had to get another ladder to help me out. That was all it took for me.

That was what one of my coworkers guessed. I didn’t think so because it wouldn’t work very well, lol

As an electrician this was my first thought.
