HEAT makes things hot?
I believe you.
The larger question is making assumptions when you are called out to a residence.
My working assumption is that I can't assume anything.
1) Bad original work.
2) Even worse DIY
3) Dufuss hack called out -- before a real electrician... oh, so typical...
4) At absolute wit's end... a REAL electrician is called into action. His talent/skill knowledge base can't be acknowledged -- as that would put him up there with the professionals....
The Big Box Store and the Internet said ANYONE can wire stuff correctly!
