Try English 101, your choking on the obvious.

Your attempted dodge isn’t even close to being humourous, its transparent because you cant answer and you have no experience.

Your not even good with semantics.

Ask posty, at least he is into B.S.

Just keep running away and definitely stay away from the big boys and all the electrical panels.

Don’t try any more, you have exposed all your cards, and it’s a big fat zero.

Ill make you a simple deal, you stay as far away as possible from all electrical panels and wiring, and I wont show you all your mistakes and obvious pit falls when it comes to electrical wiring, or trying to seem knowledgeable in the field.

The world will be a much safer place.

The world would be a better place if this forum allowed members to "IGNORE" certain members.

The world would be a better place if those with no experience learned instead of pretended to teach.

Its getting soo old, it’s become a joke.

Next time, clear it with the cheer leader Posty, he has proprietary rights on all the jokes.

Im soo changed, Ill have to lose all that formal education and life’s work experience before this clique will take me?

Grow up, learn, and stop arguing when you don’t have a clue, and even less experience.

You mean nothing in life, you change nothing in my life, ....what part don’t you get?

If you want me to be as ignorant as you are, at least ask me for a first date and don’t forget to bring flowers?

ZZZZZZZZZ

Must be that Rocket Science thing?

Peers haven’t left you since high school, isn’t that obvious?

You'll never learn a thing with that attitude.

Pucker up to the books, not some bare bottom.

Are you still here Posty, comedy central closed over an hour ago.

Pot calling the kettle black is real funny.

FoR SuRe FoR SuRe, ...which way did they go, ..... Which way did they go....

I stopped taking any thing you wrote down serious months ago, take your Sushi Bar some where else.

Raw fish is just bait.

Retired from intelligence, education, and learning, is your real motto.

You fit in real Nice.

Hi there,


Hopefully to help stop all the slander (again) here's a drawing
which i hope helps to visualize what might be happening in
the house wiring...

The little red circles are AC voltmeters.

Image


Note the difference in that one voltage reading at the box and at
the outlet. This might happen even if nothing is plugged in, but
plugging a high current device like an electric heater would help
to see the voltage drop better. The voltage can be measured
right across the prongs of the device or plug it into an extension
cord (the kind with three outlets on one end) and measure the
voltage in one of the other outlets on the end of the extension.
If the wall plug is duplex AND both outlets are wired together
(not always the case) then you can measure in the other outlet,
but sometimes that other outlet is wired to a switch or even to
another circuit so beware of the error if this is true.
LEDs vs Bulbs, LEDs are winning.
