iam an industrial electrical maintenance tech, and i myself sometimes have questions in regard to stuff i do at home to keep with the code since i don't use it much in the residential sector, but i think (this is just my 2 cents so dont get mad) that you guys are being a little hard on some people it is the responsiblity of people like us to help those who need it iam not saying working yourself out of a job by giving advice. but what about the guy who comes on here asking for help because he has 4 kids low income and cant afford to hire a skilled electrician who wont screw him over to fix something that will make it safer for his family. there are alot of people who come to forums like this thinking that people with our education and skill set would be more worried about helping make sure a guy with no money is safe rather than making a buck, we have all been down and out and started at the bottom and needed help so give some people a break and act professional. now for those people who have the money and no electrical knowledge play it safe spend the money and hire a skilled electrician your family cannot be replaced.
