Range plug too high and had too lower it cause range wouldn't push back far enough. Gotta talk to that guy who installed that. Simple concept, I think.

Customer asked why his water heater wasn't heating up. Told him to check the temp setting. After I finished with the plug he said the water wasn't getting warmer. He says the general hooked it up. The water heater wasn't there the last time I was so it got taken care of. Lift the cover to check the splices and guess what? Insulation hadn't been stripped from the conductors, just wire nutted as is. Is it that hard? :-?

One or several of my labor guides has insulation piercing wire nuts in them, but I don't know what they might be. Maybe those 3M things that have the little "guillotine" that you press down and snap the lid over, like automotive accessory installers are fond of using?

GC has their guys changing out water heaters on one of my jobs. Old heaters were maybe 20 gal 120V. New ones, you guessed it, 40 gal 208/240V.

Them "What did you do? they work so much better now" my reply "never mind"
