Yes, he is Stickboy. That was quite observant.

Marc, I'm all ears if you'd like to splain to me what twisting them accomplishes.

I just want to know who the groupie is, Marc or Peter.

I'm inclined to think it's Peter in as much as Marc has already questioned whether he is a stalker.

Let's not and say we did. Pictures of meter sockets are very boring.

I've always just bent the end 90 degrees and twisted it up by hand.

I bend the end into two 90's and twist them like an old-fashioned window-awning crank.

One advantage of SER is that the EGC is already nice and rounded.

Funny thing is, I'm the mechanic and the helper... I work solo.

your lucky. i wish i could work solo too. but who will do the crawl space crawling and attic crawling?

 

[stickboy1375]

I find it easier if I do that also, less time splaining everything. The only thing I would want a helper for is picking up my tools and mess at the end of the day.

sometimes it gets old trying to explain everything and have them do it wrong. had a helper crawl in the crawl space the other day and even explaining everything from and even telling him to look at the copper water pipe coming up right below the hole as a reference and told him exactly where to drill he still managed to come up through the floor in the opposite direction of the wall. sometimes its better to do things ourselves i suppose
