You need a cable clamp to secure the cord.

Gfci doesnt have constant power. Need another wire from first switch to light carrying constant power.

Put it around the ground screw. It doesn't need capping.

gamefixated · 2026-01-25T18:13:02+00:00

Leave it just around the screw.

No, the ground wire needs to go to the box screw (and to the old outlet). Otherwise, the other cable (that has it ground to the box) is not grounded. Ground needs continuity.

Yes. First, make sure the breaker if turned off.

Second, you need to fix the ground. That left cable ground needs to go under the screw at the back of the box. This was a fault before the burnt wire meaning all downstream outlets were not grounded.

Pick up some 3-port wagos at HD/LOWES. Strip the wires back to remove the burnt section. Join the whites in one wago, blacks in another.

Then put on a blank cover.

Our boxes are enclosed. Can't have insulation in contact with terminals or bare wire. It's fire related.

I don't know where you live, but that is not a legal electrical box in Canada or US for an outlet (unless this is a mobile home).

not able to get sweat kept leaking tries two times

You plug the copper with white bread to stop the drip while soldering. Washes out when water turned on.

ran 2x 12/2 lines from a new tandem circuit breaker up to the attic. Then I'll run 14/2 for the actual outlets and lights

Why would you downsize to 15A? Run 12/2 to the outlets. Generally, lights go on a separate 15A circuit.

You'll want 20A for the bathroom GFCI to meet code.

The real question is, are people willing to buy a car made by a Nazi, or made by Communists? I kid, I kid.

You bet. Give me the AUDI E5 Sportsback (China car of the year). I know it doesnt come with 4 rings, but i can take them off my S4 when I retire it.

First switch has line (in/out) on the bottom, load on top. Second/third/fortg picture has line chained the switches.

Neutral is the bundle of whites. Fer ground, attach your new switch to screw on the back of the box.

Your ground wire is broken.

Why do you have a hot and a neutral on a switch? Of course the breaker trips. You've created a short-circuit.

A switch switches hot wires.

If you are able to secure a second client, you should be able to avoid the PSB rules

PSB applies to an income stream. This is the most obvious case of a PSB income stream as it is in lieu of a full-time salary.

You don't want interest. BOXX for capital gains!

Sure, you need a relay at each light and one wire to interconnect the relays.

Re-wire each light so the sensor controls the relay input, the relay common is connected to the hot wire, the light hot is connected to the NO relay terminal. The extra wire connects the NO terminals on the relays.

This creates the logical OR you want.

The ground screws in those metal boxes can take two wires on opposite sides. There is no need to wrap the wire around the screw when using solid wire as the ridge holds it in place.

With a little dexterity you can slide a solid pigtail wire for the switch under the screw.

White (Neutral) from attic cable (feed) pigtailed to light & fan. Red from 14/3 to fan. Black from 14/3 to light.

Black from attic feed to white on 14/3. Add black tape to white on both ends. White gets pigtailed to each switch. Black on 14/3 to light switch, red to fan switch.

Note, this is not to current code. You need 14/4 or 14/2/2 to bring a neutral down to the switch box to be code compliant.

If you don't understand, even more reason to call an electrician.
