Home remodeling, gotta love it...

Why do people run 14 gage wire on a 20 amp circuit????

Probably for the same reason they run a plumbing stack into an attic crawl space & leave it.

Or why they don't bother replacing studs when they remove a window, they just tear out the headers & cover it with plaster & lathe.

LOL!

I had my roof mounted antenna go crappy when the springtime leaves started growing on the huge tree in my yard. I spend Easter mid-morning crawling around in the attic sucking in insulation trying to position it before getting frustrated and giving up :mad:

Was up in my attic yesterday as part of the wiring deal. Pre-wired for my drop for the range hood I am putting in. After I tile the counter and backsplash, have to punch a hole in ceiling and run duct up through and finish electrical connection. Even with a mask on the insulation dust can get to you.

Here in Texas, this is about the last month for before I stay out of the attic during the day. It's too hot up there during the day.

I'm working as an electrician. Now you know how I look and feel sometimes after a working day in an old house, on the attic or under the floor.:eek:

No thank you.

I've tried an indoor desk job longtime ago. Never never again.:eek: :eek: :eek:

edit; I must add however that I do that ~3 days a week, I'm not completely insane.

I do like working outside, just on my own terms.

That & i'm afraid of heights so I wouldn't last long if I had to wire exhaust fans or lights on the end of a 30' ladder. LOL!

Which my buddy does quite a bit.

We leave that to our boss, he's our acrobat. I think he does it mainly to avoid possible legal claims after me or my colleague would fall off a ladder.
I think a claim like that would ruin his pension scheme.
I also have to say that the older I get the more careful and afraid of heights I get.:eek: Funny thing is though that our boss is afraid of narrow spaces e.g. under a floor.

I can't imagine crawling under a house down here in Texas. Considering the number of scorpions and spiders in our house, I wouldn't want to be crawling under a house unless I got hazardous combat pay.
