I have been and still am baffled at many things, like how the mail works, how quickly emails and texts move and how intricate watches are. They are tiny, precision instruments that anyone can afford. Yet so fragile that one poke in the wrong area and a spring is no more. All those moving...

Ban me :)

I gently pulled the nutted wires from the box. There is a brown wire thats alone and exposed. There is a blue one with a crimp on it. Do you supposed it was in with the brown? I was very very careful untangling. Anyhow, the colors on the outside dont match the wires at the thermostat. I am going...

House built in the 80s has a genie opener. It’s stopped opening and I thought a switch would cure it. While installing the switch, the opener activated, up, down, whatever. Finish and switch won’t work. I take the switch off, wait a few minutes and touching the wires fires it up, open, close...
