I'm just swapping the light switch

2018-01-30 23:11:47 UTC  

@Deleted User I saw that and almost had a brain aneurysm. But it's UL listed, guess it's good

2018-01-30 23:13:34 UTC  

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.

2018-01-30 23:14:15 UTC  

I've been double and tripple checking all this stuff. I had an electrician fix the worst stuff.

2018-01-30 23:15:27 UTC  

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.

2018-01-30 23:17:12 UTC  

But with the light switch, I am good to go, right?

2018-01-30 23:17:24 UTC  

Yeah

2018-01-30 23:18:05 UTC  

Awesome. Thanks brother.

2018-01-30 23:18:12 UTC  

Np

@ThisIsChris’s elite force of skilled identitarians strikes again.

I love DIY

2018-01-30 23:30:13 UTC  

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.

2018-01-30 23:42:33 UTC  

If you have any questions don't forget about us!
If your home was built before 1978 be mindful of lead paint/dust.

2018-01-31 00:05:25 UTC  

silica dust is yummy

2018-01-31 00:28:22 UTC  

They don't make you guys use the HEPA vacuums?

2018-01-31 00:39:44 UTC  

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.

2018-01-31 00:41:47 UTC  

That's bullshit

2018-01-31 00:42:44 UTC  

We have attachments that suck the silica out of the hole while you drill. Pretty easy, and better than dying before you're 55

2018-01-31 00:44:12 UTC  

My carbide scraper has a vacuum attachment. I wear a respirator almost all day.

2018-01-31 00:45:16 UTC  

I wish they would buy us fucking respirators

2018-01-31 00:46:36 UTC  

I'm surprised they don't have them for you.

2018-01-31 00:47:43 UTC  

No, you have to get cleared by a doctor, and my company is huge, so they say no across the board

2018-01-31 00:48:36 UTC  

Wow, here they make PPE available to everyone. Cover their ass kind of thing.

2018-01-31 00:49:32 UTC  

Are you talking respirators or dust masks?

2018-01-31 00:51:23 UTC  

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.

2018-01-31 00:52:00 UTC  

Damn dood

2018-01-31 00:52:08 UTC  

I wish I had that

2018-01-31 00:53:27 UTC  

It's all these laws they passed on top of OSHA bullshit. It's to much sometimes.

2018-01-31 02:01:29 UTC  

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.

2018-01-31 02:01:33 UTC  

Very fun

2018-01-31 02:02:24 UTC  

I'm on a big job site, there are respirators available to those working with saws, drills, etc.

2018-01-31 02:06:39 UTC  

Ask for some kind of breathing protection

2018-01-31 02:07:55 UTC  

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

2018-01-31 03:28:02 UTC  

It's silica I'm pretty sure. New construction of an Airport terminal

2018-01-31 11:00:45 UTC  

Then you better get a breathing apparatus @Deleted User

2018-01-31 19:23:04 UTC  

The home has no lead paint and was checked out by inspectors. Unfortunately it does have the aluminum.

2018-01-31 19:24:42 UTC  

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.

2018-01-31 19:27:30 UTC  

Again, this is a CO/ALR light switch with aluminum wiring

2018-01-31 20:27:54 UTC  

Is it a metal box? @Deleted User
