Actually, I bought a *project*. It's a fairly nice house but built in the 50's. I'm replacing nearly all the original wiring in the house because there *wasn't* any grounded outlets in the place even though the previous owners had a couple 3 prong outlets in place. The previous wiring was installed through the framing so it's been a PITA to rip out and replace without putting too many holes in the walls. The garage won't be completed until I drop another subpanel in there since I have a second 100 AMP line running into there unattached to anything right now. I've already dropped in a new subpanel and all new breakers for the wiring that I've run so far.
I'll be taking your advice for sure Allen. You should see some of the cruddy wiring that has been done for add-ons. Totally pathetic and not anywhere near code. That be all for now, Mr O. --- Allen C Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sounds like Jeff bought a *project*.
