I like handymen

Isn't the writing on appliance cords on the Neutral side, I know that the ridges are, did they hook that up right > ?

If I remember correctly, the ridged conductor is the neutral, leaving the hot as the printed one. This one happens to be polarized correctly. :roll:

Years ago, the neutral was referred to as "the identified conductor". Identifying means included ridges, white color, colored threads in the strands, etc.

We all love handymen, don't we? One that sticks out in my mind was the ceiling fan I saw that a handyman installed on a plastic old work box.

I've replaced more than one fan fallen from a plastic box. One left a customer's daughter with a bruised collar bone.

SURELY that's been there since 1903. NOBODY would commit such an atrocity in the 21st century Evidently they couldn't get their water hot enough so they must be trying to hold in more of the heat:

I was wondering what ever happened to my '65 Corvair! It was recycled as a water heater!

How on earth did they get it through the regulator?

I like the way the switch looks just like a valve.
