Blew my breaker, plug grounded?

[bgmike8]

Code here says you need a staple to hold the wire up every 4ft or less. Its not "unsafe" at all unless you run through your basement like a football player an tackle all your gear every day. So yes , common sense says its unsafe but your the one working down there , its fine. Just dont tie metal cords around your neck attached to a lightning rod thats sharp enough to cut through the romex and you'll be fine.

Im guilty too but for fucks sake we are not allowed to hang the light from the wiring ! The weight will pull the wire down a tiny bit at a time and start tearing the romex off at the staple. No big deal just slap some staples on it so its not hanging down. its fine and safe.
Now about the wire your sparky told you is not rated for the numbers but your load will not hurt it...... Thats something you do NOT want to leave that way when you move. ONLY you and that sparky know what that wire can really handle so try your best to get rid of that before moving or selling the home.
Some jackass will come right behind you and use the full 100 amps and burn himself to the ground...... we dont need that on our shoulders.

Ty sir. That innapropiate wire wasnt me.
I,used only 12/2 wire for my 20 amp circuits..

I dont know what to make of this post.
For 1 most electricians arent crooks or salesmen. Secondly, even if you have a mechanical aptitude, accidents happen. Especially if you are inexperienced or foolhardy.
Call an electrician is good advice.

Make this of it. Your post basically said everyone who isn't a licensed electrician thinks they have all the answers and they are all wrong. But no one said they had all the answers and no one said anything insulting about anyone else except you. Have you being an electrician solved this guys problem either? (No) If he was dying to pay an electrician yet again he wouldn't have posted a post on freaking roll it up. You're no better than anyone else here. Your attitude says so though. That's what you can make of it.

it was friendly until the grumpy electrician troll who thinks his customers are stupid got on and called everyone stupid like them. don't disagree not to play with electricity but do disagree with a troll acting like his thoughts are better than everyone else's. everybody already said don't play with the electricity so there never was a disagreemnt on that point.

Not all houses have 12 gauge wire.

Because the neutral and ground are bonded at the service entrance you will find continuity between neutral and ground.

Look all I can say is this is 10 pages worth of shit. Here's your answer to the problem, isolate where your short is or where you are grounding out and voila problem solved. It's actually pretty simple , you are correct about that, good luck. I am an electrician and without going through your house with a meter and tearing a bunch of plugs apart, it's impossible to explain to someone how to troubleshoot a circuit. Especially to a layperson who already thinks they know something and you can't tell them any different.

I am not an electrician.. Not sure where you got that impression.
I did disagree with this statement "pros when they come they more often than not don't fix the problem permanently or they totally bullshit you and try to sell you a new system, when only one little thing was wrong."
Good luck on your journey to genius reading blogs...

You don't have to be smart to be an electrician. My idiot friend is one, lol. You proved it right there. Go back to school. There's only 8 pages, not 10, lol.

Thats how i make a living boss. You seem to have a problem with people in the trades.

That was me trolling if you couldn't pick it out on your own. Go smoke a joint or something

Yep, everyone else was fine until he started talking out his ass. I'm just curious if @Moabfighter got it fixed yet. I'm hoping he's got it fixed.

don't make me against the trades guys. if you don't behave like you are better than everyone else you're okay. but assholes are in every profession. almost 50% of american's voted for Trump so yeah they're everywhere.

Dude. Keep that shit in the Politics section. I try to stay the fuck outta there.

Fine. Anything anyone wrote here can be complained about. What's the damn point though? If it's wrong you can correct it politely. Otherwise they're not even reading and just feeling superior, i.e. trolling.

For. Sure. And I've got about half of those dudes on ignore too. I'm here to learn about weed.

And you just added to it by repeating what we've already told him. You have not brought anything new to this convo. Maybe if you hadn't come swinging into this thread like johnny big dick electrician you wouldnt have gotten the responses you have.

Man the world is fucked.

It goes both ways, man. Quit playing the victim.
