Not an expert, but it is my understanding that the neutral must run in the same cable as the hot. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

2 coats might work, but 3 would definitely be better. I typically use green pre-mixed joint compound for the last coat since I find it easier to sand than the quickest type. You could prime it, and then see how it looks. If you don't like it, you can always put another coat of mud on top of the...

Is the electricity from this generator clean enough to power sensitive appliances like a digital TV and a computer? Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

Not a sparky, but I think that simply means that the incoming cable goes to the switchbox first, and then to the light fixture. In other words, no switch loops, since there must be a neutral in the switchbox. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

Re: Running romex through stud with nail If your hole is big enough, you could use a pex pipe hanger to line the hole. I call them "Mickeys" because they look like Mickey Mouse's head with two ears. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

I use nothing but Moen in my own home and in my rental properties. I rarely have a problem with them, and, when I do. Moen sends the parts for free. It takes less than 15 minutes to change the cartridge. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

There is absolutely no need to replace each receptacle with a GFCI. You should have them on the first receptacle for each run in locations that are within 6 feet if a water source, such as your bathroom and kitchen, as well as all circuits that lead to receptacles in your garage and basement...

Not sure about the code requirrments, and I have never seen anything but the "tang" (as you call it) holding the wore where it enters the box. If you do have to replace it, it is a simple matter of using a sawzall to cut the nails of the old box, and buy a new "old work" box to replace it...

^^^ that is the solution Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

Remove the switch from its box, and tell us which color wires are connected to it. If the switch has one black and one white wire connected to it, switch removal would be a simple task. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

Not sure if it is due to my old phone, but the link you posted shows as broken, and does not work. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

I think the OP already said no pilot light. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

Exranger06 Thanks! That makes sense to me. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

Thanks for that detailed explanation. Obviously, I am not an electrician, but I do lots of electrical work at my rental properties. I will do anything from the meter in. I just will not connect to the POCO. I have been educating myself on electrical work by reading, watching and asking...

I have never seen that, but I also don't think I ever tried. I am going to test that on my bench with a mock up. Thanks for the education. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

Please educate me. Are you saying that a white wire (that is being used as a hot in a 3 way configuration), will show 120 volts between it and the black wire, and 120 volts between it and the red wire??? Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

He didn't sat that the 3 wire was the only wire. Regardless, if the white wire is NOT a neutral, his meter would not be showing 120v between black and white and 120v between red and white. If there 's a way that his meter would show that please explain. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

I agree that I would also like to have more clarification. However, he says that he gets 120v between the black and white with the switch in one position, and 120v between the red and white with the switch on the other position. As I see it, that proves that the white is a neutral, rather than...

Perhaps I am missing something... didn't he say that his meter read 120v between the black and white, and 120v between the red and white? Assuming that is true, isn't the white wire proven to be a neutral? Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

I wasn't sure from the OP original post. Regardless, if he pigtails the wire that is connected to the common screw, and connects the new white to the existing neutrals, the outlet will work. It may or may not be controlled by the 3ways, depending on which 3way he is tapping into. Sent from my...
