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.

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 wish they would buy us fucking respirators

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

It's not a positive and negative, think of a switch like a handle on a faucet. It cuts the flow if water on or off.

Is there a metal pipe feeding the box?

@Deleted User Not even the founder of America’s strongest identitarian movement is immune to the travails of home ownership!

@John O -#7072 basically it’s more of an “in wire” and “out wire,” right? I know that’s not the correct terminology but the juice just flows through the wire, stops at the switch if it’s in off, and continues on if the switch is in on right?

Basically like a valve.
