As I told him in my PM, 2 wire hook-em-up, 3 wire screw-em-up. Oddly, he didn't respond. Maybe he hasn't gotten his at home de-fribulator yet.

Sorry i haven't responded, been going nonstop for the last two weeks.

I've been talking to Brewski on the phone with my questions.  i'm putting up a 10 x 14 shed (workshop) & had some questions about extending some existing wiring to the shed (there was a shed in the same spot years ago, & they had power in it. i still have access to the wiring.)

also, for any of you considering putting up one of theose Arrow steel sheds from lowes or home depot...don't! you want to loose your sanity?, try assembling one of those things & getting the 5000 holes to line up with the 5000 screws!!!

next time it'll be wood....

Hey, 
I'm off this Wednesday.  Weather permitting, I'll ride on over to finish that thing up.  Cruddy weather, I'll take the cage.
I'll stop by work tomorrow and give you the check for the cookie dough too.  (Don't ask)  ;D

not being a smart  a#* ,, but there is a book you can buy that will help a lot in situations like this .

  title is "how to fix damn near everything" i think it sells for 25.00 ,, can be ordered from almost any decent bookstore.  My wife got me a copy a few years ago,, has been handy lil addition to my home tool box.
   it covers almost any type of home repair you can think of , appliances and electrical too.

Etymology lesson.

Expert:  Ex = former / has-been.  Spurt = drip under pressure.  Thus, an expert is a has-been drip under pressure.   ;D

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

Sounds like you should stick with BREWSKI. Last summer did a sub feed to my camp's garage with the help of my neighbor and father. That came out good .... when alone woking on the house wiring I stick to these basics:

Electricty in the wire = good

Electricty out of the wire = BAD   :o
