EBFD6 said:This thread is kinda making me feel bad about getting mad at apprentices for screwing things like this up. Seems to be an awful lot of different ways to accomplish the same thing, and even guys w/ some experience are confused. I never really put much thought into things like this but the more I read I think I might owe an apology to an apprentice or two.
Anyone else thinking the same thing?
There are a few different ways to accomplish 3way installations. I don't think that any of us are confused however. I believe most of us do it the way we do it because we were taught that way. I do it the way I do because I was taught many years ago to do it that way. I have also learned the other ways of doing it. In learning the variations of doing it, you will become a better troubleshooter, and in the end a better electrician.
I never really got made at some of my apprentices or employees for screwing things up. More than often I did the same thing when I was learning the trade.
We are all human and we all make mistakes.
Good judgement comes from experience, and alot of that comes from bad judgement.
