All you had to do was put new duct tape on the neutrals and it would have been just fine. NOT! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/eek.gif) [This message has been edited by ThinkGood (edited 06-02-2004).]

Ahhh, the smell of overheating fabric-covered Non-metallic cable in the evening...
Smells like overtime!

DougW wrote Dern Skippy! Friggin duct tape couldn't have held out till after Memorial Day?? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/frown.gif) I ended up replacing about 10 outlets in this place! GFI to replace the duct tape thing here at the kitchen counter, yanked that damn hazard from under the sink, fed through the GFI to the rest of the circuit so I could use 3 prong outlets..(P&S needs to start putting more "no equiptment ground" stickers with these things!) -Randy

You know what they say about duct tape? Duct tape is like the force ( star wars ) It has a light side.. It has a dark side... and it holds the universe together ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/smile.gif)

Don't laugh -- I've seen extension cords twisted and spliced together with regular Scotch tape.

Don't laugh -- I've seen extension cords twisted and spliced together with regular Scotch tape. Me too! And not only once. I've even seen twisted wires taped with Scotch tape and buried in plaster! Anyway, the most ingenious wiring device I've ever seen is the homebrew US 6-way Y-extension cord. I'm sure all of the US members are familiar with those flimsy dollar-store 16AWG (or maybe even 18) zip cord 3-way extensions. Several people I know too 2 such beasts, cut the cords in half, spliced the end with the plug to the 2 ends with the trailing sockets and mounted everything on a wall with some scotch tape or in the another case nailed it to the kitchen wall paneling.
