It was a bitch getting the romex through the top board of the wall, so I cut a hole (or 2) in the wall and pulled that bitch through. Drywall and paint ain't ----, so I'm just happy I didn't have to ---- with the ceiling or retexturing.

The place is a wreck, but all in time it'll come together.

What are the white wires doing in the switch boxes? Are they all connected together and nothing else with them?

I was gonna say...normally when i do switched outlets or 3-ways and 4-ways i use 14-3, not 2 sets of 14-2. That's just trying to be cheap right there. Out here the electrical inspector would actually fail for that on new construction. Did they at least have each traveler tagged on the 3-way? Sorry, just got done doing a bunch of fed and loaded 4-ways today so my brain's in overdrive... :S

I don't know what the hell any of ya'll are talkin about. The only thing I recognized as special was the one wire with the black screw. The house is one year old and it's a chinsy townhouse.

Ghettttto, using 14-2 is being a ------ cheap bastard pulling 2 sets.

----, the company i work for, we pull out homeruns in 3 wire, and a coupple in 4 wire. its more spendy but damn its ------ quicker than pulling a ---- load of 2 wire everywhere.

I don't know what any of that means, but the builders of this house suck balls. Everything is chinsed to hell.

Cold air coming through outlets, windows, and doors.
No insulation in interior walls. Only around the outside.
Hallow interior doors.
Shitty drywall and "paint"
Using a welder, radio, and lights in the garage usually pops a fuse. That popped fuse kills the whole garage and just the front living room (the one pictured). It's all on that one fuse.
When it rains hard, Minnesota acquires another lake under my sliding door and bedroom window. >:(

So, if you're telling me something about what you see in the wiring makes my house cheap, I'm not surprised. I'm slowly fixing/upgrading everything to my liking. I'm not an electrician, so I may not do anything about that, unless I hire someone to add bigger breakers? in the main box.

All those new slightly larger plats corporate house builders have been building here in the mid west suck tottal ass. Like ryland and beazer.. We used to roof them, tottal peices of ----. Sell it, and buy a house in a nice older plat. (when funds are permiting).

This house was built by Wright Homes. They blow balls.

I have a lake at the end of my street, and on the other side of the lake is a farm. A builder just bought the whole farm and is building very large high dollar houses over there. They also have plans to make a path around the lake, and a bridge going accross the lake. Right after that is when Stealthmode cashes out and buys a real house on a lake with some shooting land. ;)
