RE: Electrical,frenchie said:Relax, bro. I'm not an electrician, I'm a GC.
All I said was, I'm not going to help you break the law. Didn't say you had to follow it - just that I ain't going to help you break it. How is that going Joe T on you?
As for your extensive experience... If you've done that much electrical work, what's up with this rookie question?
20 years? Between this and the tile countertop on 1/2 ply, I thought you were some young guy, just starting out...
Verdeboy said:RE: Electrical,
1. I've never encountered a situation like this with adobe (I'm from Michigan).
Verdeboy said:If I didn't have the electrical to worry about, I'd just fill the hole with rocks and dirt, attach the stucco wire (somehow), and stucco the outside. The electrical is the problem.
Mine, too. Which is why I try to gather as much info as possible on a subject, and if I still don't feel comfortable, I turn down the job. I'll probably turn down the counter tiling job for just that reason.frenchie said:I agree with you about the conscience bit. Mine'd give me a hard time, charging money for something I didn't know how to do.
Verdeboy said:Thanks Andy and Biker,
If I disconnect that wire at the breaker box, but am unable to pull it out of the wall, do I still need to terminate the unused wire in the same way?
Verdeboy said:I need to deep 6 this electrical Box and repair the hole in the wall of this adobe house. What's the best way to proceed?
FYI, this is in the kitchen, and there's plenty of outlets in there already.
Au contraire. There is another properly placed, flush mount receptacle within 4 inches of this one and a dozen more scattered around the room. In case you didn't notice, there is a large hole in the wall, and there's no drywall or studs to anchor this box to. Hence, the need to deep-six it.jwelectric said:There can never be plenty of receptacles and thus the relief to just abandon one. Someone went to a lot of trouble to install that device and it is hard to believe that they did all that work for something that was not needed.
I picture you gritting your teeth as you wrote this.jwelectric said:Please post a picture of your finished work so we can see the great job that we know you will do.
This is awkward, but...
