Had a phone call from a family member who is a licensed builder. He was building a finished room in the basement and did some wiring. He installed (2) 3 gang boxes with 6 three way switches for lighting in the basement. Help was from a lovely "Wiring 1,2,3" book from the orange roof store. Some of the switches would work part of the time and some would not work at all. Could I possibly come over to see what was wrong?

Well I did go over and got one of the best laughs I have had in awhile. To make a long story short he did have all the right conductors in each box. They just were not terminated correctly. After rewiring all of the switch boxes I made a deal with him. You don't do any wiring and I won't build anything. Hopefully this deal will stay in place.
