Default Garden Hose ???

What to do with those old garden hoses. It flexable, easy to install & I think the NEC should add to the 2008 additions.

I would rank this setup in my top 10 of handyman hazards.

The basement was partially finished with labels from alcohol bottles.

Lets get drunk & screw...up the electrical system.

OMG!

So much effort was made, it would have been easier to do it right. What is that, pie pan light? Is the aluminum foil grounded?

Speaking of garden hoses. This is what I found on a cabin by the lake. They were utilizing a pump in order to obtain domestic water from the lake.

You might be a REDNECK if our child's first words are "Attention K-Mart shoppers!" or...
you stand under the mistletoe at christmas and wait for Granny and cousin Sue-Ellen to walk by.
