Other than the crinkled up conductors, it does look well-done for the most part. The guy who made that display might make more than you do, in fact. Home Depot is paying beaucoup bucks to electrical tradesmen to work in their sores.

I like it...

It shows the 3 configurations for 3-way switches (near feed, far feed, center feed) At the same time it looks enough like Dr Seuss to scare away many of those who have no business attempting it. I could definitely come up with a better layout. Definitely would have printed the labels off a computer.

They don't make much in the S.E.
$12-$19

I see a violation if you are going to use the white for a switch leg you need to make it another color either with a marker or other means, not tape though, I fail for this in the past

I absolutely love the place. HD is a DIYer paradise, and I am a DIYer.

So what were we talking about?

They also pay 23-25 bucks/hour.

Was that in PA. Because some one else said. They don't even have a state electrical license.

But, what about those blue boxes? Do you all ever have to put fire caulk around the wire in those big knockouts for the wire entrance?

I like getting tools and what not from Home Depot. But those blue boxes ahh I hate them! o/w boxes the screws always strip out and its a pain to put them in.

They charge insane prices for material to. Home Depot has it's place, nice to be able to buy materials on the weekend.

Why, do you?

 

[Buck Parrish]

Why, do you?

I try not to use the blue boxes. But when the hole is big enough to see through. Yes I do use fire caulk in the wire entrance.

I like the big "DNI" sign. It probably means "Do Not Inventory".

I can see it now:

(21) 005425 Outlet boxes
(33) 003250 Receptacles
(1) 3' Wall....."Hey, Joe!! What's the inventory code for a wall???"

That's exactly what it means.

Whoever built this had to 'write off' the material used from inventory for store promotional use. This way (at least theoretically), their inventory will be correct as to what is (should) be on the shelf.
