Re: common neutral

If you are going to take up brain surgery you may have to wash your hands to.

Re: common neutral

Hmmm... Good point. Maybe there's more to that brain surgery stuff than I first thought?

In case any of you guys are wondering what that's about, see:

Hey, get your own method!

I'm a lot older than you, and I've been practicing this learning method a loooooooooong time. I'm so good at it now that I can usually switch the foot that's in my mouth from one to the other so fast that no one notices. I'm so good at it now, that I can walk pretty well and talk pretty well with one foot still in my mouth. I still have to sit down to put both feet in my mouth at the same time, but I aspire to doing it without having to sit down. It's good to have a goal!

Fess up ... you've been watching me and envying my skill at it, haven't you?

Re: common neutral

I know its common practice and see it daily, however, its still amazing to me how often I find overloaded neutrals where some plant/store "electrician" has rearranged breakers (often to make room for a 3 pole, etc). MOre than once a "white" neutral is now "smoked brown".
One of the most overlooked situations in wiring in this area.
