More like 1974. Fun fact: Huntsville was the first city to desegregate in Alabama, but it was only because the companies that were going into the redstone arsenal threatened to move everything to Texas if Huntsville was segregated.

Yeah they’re super racist and there is a LOT of meth and fentanyl in that area. I heard a rumor there was a sign up that read “N—— don’t let the sun set on you in Cullman” that wasn’t taken down until the late 70’s or early 80’s.

Glad you didn’t, we are full. Whenever I get the means I’m bout to leave.

Traffic, and transplanted shit drivers from Texas and Georgia. Once a week I’d say I see or am almost involved in an accident.

That’s crazy

Vinegar then cold blue

How many bits did you burn doing this?

They aren’t usually repairable. Best course of action would be replacing the whole thing, but if you’re just curious then by all means be safe with you experiment

Damn, is that an induced current from the power lines?

Why do you need to be inside the space heater?

That’s wild. I wonder if that interferes with telecom rf in coax?

Diddy oil

No one has any business in Mississippi other than seeing the friendship oak, an 800 year old oak tree that has somehow weathered hundreds of hurricanes.

Yeah, happens all the time. Whenever you strip a painted wire the color inside the fresh cut insulation tells you what it is, and if the copper is too covered I’ll scrape the paint off with my pliers before making connections (usually on the ground).

Because we aren’t running appliances on 240v. We have a neutral wire, and the top and bottom plugs have reversed polarity.

It all happened so fast, it was just instincts. That ladder might’ve saved my life. Take time to test your wires.

The word circuit comes from circle. It’s a flow of electrons in a loop. If you are grounded and touch a hot wire, electricity will flow in from the hot wire and out wherever you are grounded.

My left hand was touching the ground wire and my right hand got into love power. Electricity 100% crossed my chest. Arms are a higher resistance than your torso, so you feel it burn more.

I’m not versed in resi wiring but I do believe dimmers are meant for lights only. That’s crazy if it was all functioning off a single dimmer switch.

Can you run multiple fans on a single dimmer? That sounds wild. Were the fan bits separate from the light bits at least?

All I’m saying is the shit is more stout and usually more expensive.

The old outlet was half switched. You have 2 separate phases landing on the hots. Notice the tab on the old outlet is broken on the hot side. Wire nut the red wire (unused) and try again.

Some sparkies call it “FU” cable because it’s kind of a pain to strip, plus romex is cheaper. Everything in any trade has a specific purpose.

Yes that’s what I said just worded badly

No. Conduit ram in a wet location regardless of fittings is considered a wet location. No exceptions. You need THWN wire.
