GOSH THATS Embarrassing!!!! I should not be typing late at night. I meant to say, whoever used red as a GROUND wire (without re-identifying) should be shot. Even though it may not be allowed, its less worse than just hoping people figure out that the red wire is actually a ground connection. I've known these color codes sence before I could walk. Slip of my mind, I guess. Sorry for confusion. I once worked on a PA system where the in house maint. department installed the IG outlets. They landed all the grounds on the neutral bar (no ground bar anywhere near the panel, and no bonding) and wondered why I was mad. It all got redone when the place failed an inspection. Some people think that anything that doesn't hurt when you touch it is the same thing. One of the in-house guys said to me "we don't need grounds and neutrals, they both go to the same place". Not the case.
Also, I used to play hockey when I was younger. I used to drive my coach crazy because some of the rink owners would ask me to fix scoreboard problems and such, which would *occasionally* interrupt practices. I can practically wire RG-58 connectors in my sleep.
