I-joists + manufactured trusses + sloppy wiring = Fiery death trap that needs to be torched or torn down.

And I gotta meet the guy who hacked that nice rectangular hole. Introduce him to the carpentry and cabinetmaking instructors at school for a handshake, then bring him down to my shop for "punishment" by the seniors (read: cut 10 4 foot long pieces of 4" ridgid with a hacksaw, in other words, their work), then have me and the rest of the freshmen run him out of the school with the pieces of pipe he cut.

One more thing, if I ever had that much wire sticking out of a box my instructor would kill me for wasting wire. 8" of wire is enough for me, 20" is just wasting copper.

Is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?
