Default acceptable?

Not the 'permanent extension cord wiring'. I've recommended that this be replaced.

I'm wondering about the fixture attached to the bottom of the junction box near the garage door opener. What is your take?

It's ok for a light fixture but I don't think you can endorse using that screw in receptacle device. I'm not sure what kind of load that socket is rated for but a 100 watt bulb wouldn't even draw 1 amp. How many amps could you draw with all those extension cords? A lot more than 1 amp.

I have a concern - this is a garage, with a possible wet or damp area. I ask -have you considered the issue of the metal pull chain on an electrical fixture in such a location? Not to forget about the ungrounded (brown coloured) socket extensions.

To me it spells a "safety" concern.

If all the crap is removed from the fixture and a bulb is installed it is OK. Why?


Cuz, I said so.

Quit beating around the bush. Have them install an honest-to-G-d dedicated recepticle, just like what is required.

There is no reason Will cannot type GOD he is just trying to respect those of us that differ in his oppinion.

However, I think this is ridiculous. If GOD is what you mean type it up!!!

It's a Jewish thing. Blasphamy and all that. For a full explaination read the 'not for everyone' section or e-mail me, directly.

Will try to refrain from references to Him in the public area.

It is a holy name, and not spoken ar written by Jewish Faith. I beleive that is the reason. I respect it. I am a child of the King, and call him Abba Father, and don't mind saying or typing God.

That's Buddah, Todd.

Sorry, couldn't help it.

Besides, Buddah never claimed to be 'You know who', just a guy who wanted to escape the endless cycle of reincarseration.

Nirvana is not the same as heaven, in Buddism, merely a state of nothingness, as in 'Never Existed'.

Common misunderstanding.

Yes, I am a wise butt.

Ben,

Can you say 'thread drift'?

Sure, I knew you could.

What you're looking at is called a "mudring" on a 4"-square box. Both of those parts are listed to be used as you see them.

Wow, did you just put down the whole of Budism(Sp)

Let's see, escape incarceration, does that mean to keep out of jail or some other form of incarceration?
