question for HMT in-house Electricians
Three outlet in my house that shares the same wire is proven short, but apprently the wires are not "feed" throught any hose inside the wall instead, they are all stapled on the beams. How would i go replaceing them other then takeing down the wall or feed external wires on the surface.
thanks :-* |

or just cut out the section of drywall between the studs where the wire is ran, half and half the studs, to still give you a nailer for drywall patching.

I would first try to figure out what caused this "short" all of the sudden. Has anything changed or been done recently?
Drywall damage is fun. >:D __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |

Re: question for HMT in-house Electricians
If you're good, you can cut your drywall out perfect and not damage it.. then just put it back in place when you're done working.. it's probably only gonna be a 16" strip unless the layoff is 2'.

Re: question for HMT in-house Electricians
it is actually a playroom and there are no basment, only two wire in the outlet and there are no ground wires. Hot is shot to neutral LOL , the short goes between the first outlet and the breaker. and they are like 20 ft apart and goes throught a wall.
Two outlet are on the same wall about 10 feet apart and the third one is on another corner of the room. I will probly just replace all the wires (they look like ---- and could burn up anytime :1 ) and run them on the edge of the wall.... |

Re: question for HMT in-house Electricians
cloth covered and the whole wire oxided into the center :l , they look identical to the those wires at where I use to live, a 100+ years old house.
