I'm just swapping the light switch
I will be replacing the outlets once I recieve my order of these. https://www.homelectrical.com/alumiconn-2-port-lug-aluminum-copper-wire-pack-25.kic-95025.1.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI146X-uaA2QIV1brACh0xlgl7EAYYASABEgJI-_D_BwE
@Deleted User I saw that and almost had a brain aneurysm. But it's UL listed, guess it's good
It has the gel inside it that keeps the copper from oxydizing. Looked more sturdy to me than just buying the pigtail AL/CO caps and the gel.
I've been double and tripple checking all this stuff. I had an electrician fix the worst stuff.
Now I just want to change out the light sockets with the usb ones. Figured I could do that myself since I have done it before. Just have never done it with aluminum.
But with the light switch, I am good to go, right?
Yeah
Awesome. Thanks brother.
Np
@ThisIsChris’s elite force of skilled identitarians strikes again.
I love DIY
I almost forgot this server existed. I'll have to post some before and after pics of the rooms I am renovating when I am done.
If you have any questions don't forget about us!
If your home was built before 1978 be mindful of lead paint/dust.
silica dust is yummy
They don't make you guys use the HEPA vacuums?
We use one, I work primarily in residential. We have to set up little containment barriers. And I have to keep up with OSHA lead saftey classes. That's every 5 years, plus all those other OSHA saftey classes(fall prevention, ladder, scaffolding safety, lock out/tag out for the occasion I'm in an industrial building ect...) Then for KY I have to take lead abatement classes, pretty much the same stuff as OSHA. It's a lot.
That's bullshit
We have attachments that suck the silica out of the hole while you drill. Pretty easy, and better than dying before you're 55
My carbide scraper has a vacuum attachment. I wear a respirator almost all day.
I'm surprised they don't have them for you.
No, you have to get cleared by a doctor, and my company is huge, so they say no across the board
Wow, here they make PPE available to everyone. Cover their ass kind of thing.
Are you talking respirators or dust masks?
I use a respirator. I create lead vapor. But on big job sites if your messing with vapors they make respirators available. Dust masks as well.
Damn dood
I wish I had that
It's all these laws they passed on top of OSHA bullshit. It's to much sometimes.
I've been using a spiked pipe to make holes in the fireproofing/insulation/silica yummy along the ceiling, in order to lay pipe, etc.
Very fun
I'm on a big job site, there are respirators available to those working with saws, drills, etc.
Ask for some kind of breathing protection
It's not silica. If it's a renovation, it could be asbestos, if it's not, it's some other shit that gives you cancer that they just haven't blown the whistle on yet
It's silica I'm pretty sure. New construction of an Airport terminal
Then you better get a breathing apparatus @Deleted User
The home has no lead paint and was checked out by inspectors. Unfortunately it does have the aluminum.
There is only a positive and negative for the light switch. No third wire for the green screw. Is that an issue? The old light switch I removed didn’t have a green screw.
Again, this is a CO/ALR light switch with aluminum wiring
Is it a metal box? @Deleted User
