Thanks whodat. My house electical is a bit of a mess. 1 room was built in 1918, another in 1935, one more in 1982, another in 1992 and another in 1997. The first two builders gave a shit about what they were doing. The last 3 couldn't care less. Can't even explain how bad things were before I fixed most of it. The only thing I didn't fix was the circuit going to the back (ie, my bedroom, closet, and back bathroom. It's all 110. The people who wired it did a horribly cheap and not near code job. When I moved in there was an outside junction box with no cover, and just twist tie things on the wires. The wire feeding the circuit is too small for the breaker it's hooked up to. I shouldn't be admitting all this, as you will now think I don't give a shit about my house/ family/ cats/ life. I actually know how dangerous the thing is, but really don't want to spend the time and money to fix it right. Fuck. I really need to do that.
For right now I'm safe as I fried the feed wires somewhere, and the breaker is switched off, so no power going to the danger zone anymore. Now the closet is being run off one of the good circuits. And when we want to wash clothes we have to shut down the closet, run an extension cord to the washer and do that. We've been drying them on lines, lol. No light in the main bathroom. We are kinda used to it now. So many things to spend money on when you have an old house.
Thanks for slapping my wrist. I know it's no joke... I guess I'm just stupid/ careless/ completely in denial. Don't be like me kids. I could have literally burned down my house. No joke.
Speaking of Don't be like me... do not try this at home. And I'm not using a telescopic lens... me and pepe are about 3 feet from eachother. Gotta love these guys... they are my cover. (hmmm, do you smell that... yeah, must have been another skunk)
