I give him credit for at least using the proper colored THWN instead of bell wire or extension cord.

Is her boyfriends phone number (800)HANDYMAN? This whole schlabang looks terrifyingly (is that a word?) familiar..


Thats if this isn't for a 240V pump motor.. If it's for the pool light, I'd love to know if there's GFI protection...

iwire,
I had to make the picture of Curly my desk top backround lmao.

Frank....I made it my background as well.

Hey Iwire, where'd you get that pic ? Is there more where that came from ? Its a beauty.

I made it my MSN pic. People ask me about it and I just tell them its a picture of myself at work

Garden hose with "T&E" (Romex) pulled through it is all too common here when a homeowner has wired power to a garden shed or garage.

I worked with an old-timer who use to tell me about garden hose in concrete slabs. I guess they would plug both ends and fill it with water and pour around. Then they would let the water out and pull the hose out of the concrete creating a nice round raceway.

I guess it was either red-neck or cheap.

Top this guys....
Not too long ago I was part of a conversation where one of the participants (not me) was bragging about using black plastic lawn irrigation pipe to run natural gas from his house to the garage. I kept my mouth shut as the guy was busy justifying how and why he did it and how much money he saved

I used to work for a combined electric and gas utility company, and it wasn't uncommon in the ghetto areas, to find plain old cheap garden hose used to pipe gas, especially from a customer who was still PAYING for gas service, to all the neighboring deadbeats who were stealing his service.
