Hey Sparkles - Part II

[rivermobster]

What happened to the lock ring??? And where is the screw that holds the panel breaker cover on ???

My lineman friend had the key and put a whole new stainless ring on it.

We don't need no stinking screws...

If you think us RDP boaters argue, step into the Wide World of Sparky forums, which makes various religious faiths and denominations arguing over holy manuscripts seem like a big kumbaya love festival.

When I was a kid doing T-Bar, one day this kinna hot female electrician shows up on the job.

I strike up a conversation with her, and find out both her And her husband are journeyman electricians.

Those two probably had a Great life.

You can use a butter knife to put the screw back in






Give it 10min and peeps will come in droves to let me know "my commitment to stupidity" and that a butter knife is the wrong tool and won't work

The sucky part about this breaker deal is it happened at the same time I'm finishing up the garage remodel!

And since I redid a bunch of wiring in the garage, I'm confident, whatever is going on is all my fault!!!

So I backtracked All my work. Took every box apart and checked every connection. Fuck. I can't find anything.

So as I'm turning breakers on an off, to check different circuits, the magic smoke and sparks start coming out of the buss bar!

So glad I found it before the shit Really hit the fan. It could have been Real ugly.

Dumb luck.

He could have definitely used the sawzall blade to put the screw back in. Genius!!

Don't be ridiculous, they have scraper blade attachments for this sorta thing.
