Wiring is no hobby... Ask your local electrician

Dear Hobbyists,

Trying to keep your special room a safer place. Let experience answer your questions. Happy to help.

well wiring isnt really that hard juss make sure u turn off all the power to ur house I MEAN ALL OF IT black= power white = netral attach power to power and neutral to neutral twist them together and put a wire nut of it than put electricians tape on the open spots and walah wiring is done

Well there is more to it than that... Thanks for the offer tradesman grower! if I have any questions I will surely ask! In the meantime I am just trying to stay below 80% of my 15A circuit lol. To the guy above a wire nut is called a marrett, named after the original manufacturer.

Hey Tradskin, I have some hall lights on a 3 way, I want to add a 4 way switch in the middle of the hall. Whats the best way to do that?

same shit i dont think anyone cares we both new what we were talkin bout

Ive never heard a wire nut called a merrett before. What part of the world is that terminology used?

Please, the man offered help, he didn't say he was charging for it. I wired mine, from seting the pole and putting the grounding rods in to final inspection, doesn't mean others don't have questions. VV

Thanks TradSkin, so basically.....i can find the 3 wire that runs between the switches in my attic, cut it, splice longer 3 wire onto both cut ends, fish the new longer wiring down the wall and install the switch. Sounds good thanks again

Blackcoupe,

To be "trade safe", make sure any splicing is done inside a box with a blank cover on it....
Happy motorin'
