To please a couple of the more pedantic characters in this thread, in
the interest of full disclosure I thought I'd explain how it is I am
hardly inexperienced.
I am installing a light fixture. When I took the old light fixture
off I noticed in the ceiling that there was a black wire that came in
and was tied to another black wire that continued the run. From my DC
days I know the black wire to be ground, so I spliced into it and
attached the light's green wire.
I think the fixture is faulty because when I connected it's white wire
to the white wire in the ceiling I felt a little funny. But my
circuit breaker is also faulty because it threw right away.
Downstairs I couldn't get the breaker to stay in one position, it was
that worn, so I put a self-tapping screw direction through the top of
the switch to hold in the on position.
Light works! But buzzes & flickers horribly. Lots of noise in the
breaker box too. I'm blaming the switch upstairs....it's the only
thing left. I know that it isn't a 3 way switch because it only goes
two positions, so I'm not quite sure what is going on here. I can't
even guess what the red wire up there is for.
There's always some wire left behind in all my installations....you
know how it is.
Apparently it was missed that this was pure fiction.
Because of the long thread. I forget who claimed not to be in over his
head. Obviously, someone was in over their capability.
And THAT statement solidifies your capability to jump to conclusions.
Running to posturing first and asking questions later.....Again.
These guys are continuing to address your usenet offenses in terms of
electrical safety, but it has nothing to do with safety now -- it's
really your impolitic approach.
It's not the first time a guy has gone to the barricades over his ego
and hurled bombs and brickbats at all and sundry.
Doesn't make you a bad man.
Believe it or not, when this has blown over you can still come back to
this group and enter into communications, initiating or participating
in threads that have rational contributions from various group
members.
Don't let the slashing drive you away. You gave as good as you got,
so let it go for now.- Hide quoted text -
