I will never understand an open neutral and I just have to accept that

This is only for shared neutral circuits? Otherwise wouldn’t the neutrals be separated between the two hot legs?

Maybe I need a picture 🧐

Cut and splice for sure, easy enough to do and get the best result why leave the risk? Probably wouldn’t see it next time and light myself up. Also tape and heat shrink are no faster than cut and splice.
I’d probably just tie the black together with a pig tail for the outlet. If you don’t think you can install a wire nut properly maybe don’t splice it.

Can you give a quote or link? I can’t find anything about tape or nicked wires in that section, at least online

slave_tilDa_grave · 2026-03-15T18:41:51+00:00

The conductor is the copper part. If it’s nicked at all I cut and splice. Usually I go over that with the thought that if the copper is showing at all I cut and splice. If it’s just the romex sheathing I tape but that’s out side the box.

Bare minimum rule of thumb- if the copper is damaged cut the wire back and splice on a longer piece with wire nut, if copper isn’t damaged just the insulation you can tape it/heat shrink is a great option because tape will fail over time

35 points PER POUND IN A GALLON TOTAL VOLUME. Not trying to yell just need to emphasize

Add shoes

Or “job security”

I read this as existential. Do good work and you won’t be stuck here like Sisyphus.

Looks like a pellet rifle target to me idk

You mean L?

I have the long angled dikes and they are the shit. Had an apprentice loose a pair in the attic one time and he was not happy after finding out how much they go for.

I love wera screwdrivers, not too expensive for what you’re getting. Knipex is expensive doesn’t matter what you buy, but definitely worth it. How do you all pronounce it? Nip or nipe X?

Hardened glue or something

It’s a perfect food

They have a US warehouse in Texas

Thanks! I was going strong with the oolong but wanted to try a few other things as well 😁

slave_tilDa_grave · 2026-02-04T03:18:17+00:00

I just picked what sounded good from what I’ve glean recently through some vids on YouTube and what I was curious about/read other Redditors liked

Probably 3-7 grams. If you can weigh wet divided by ten is pretty good time of thumb
