TheCyborgNinja 06/28/17 1:38:32 AM #1:	I'm pretty sure the switch blew when I turned it off (it made a strange buzzing sound then never worked again). I'm not comfortable messing with electrical. Just curious what's a fair rate to fix that? Our usual contractor seems too busy and disinterested. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 <cite>TheCyborgNinja posted [p:881943574] in What's a f...

TheCyborgNinja 06/28/17 1:52:16 AM #3:	That's about what I was thinking. I actually know a bunch of electricians, but I'm not comfortable asking them because I don't want to accidentally guilt trip anyone. I'd feel awkward. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 <cite>TheCyborgNinja posted [p:881944074] in What's a f...

Smarkil 06/28/17 2:59:04 AM #6:	Like, a lightswitch? Hopefully 0$ because any idiot with a screwdriver is able to replace one in about 10 minutes. I mean, shit. I don't even bother turning off the power to replace them. --- If my daughter was in it, Id have to be the co-star - Deoxxys on porn <cite>Smarkil posted [p:881945966] in What's a f...

If you actually know some, pick the one you like best and throw em the work. They may even just do it for free, worst case you give your friend some work hopefully. --- http://myanimelist.net/profile/dragon504 http://followmy.tv/u/dragon504/time_wasted <cite>dragon504 posted [p:881948015] in What's a f...

Our house was built by an electrician, but he was a dumbass so the wiring is weird. I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm not an electrician so I'm very likely talking out of my ass, and you're also in Canadia as I recall, but light switches usually just have the 'hot' wire coming in through the switch and going up to the light. Sometimes they'll have a ground, but (unless Canadia is different) the light itself should have a ground which makes the ground from the switch somewhat superfluous. I'm not sure if there are any situations in relatively modern electrical where this would not be the case. --- If my daughter was in it, Id have to be the co-star - Deoxxys on porn <cite>Smarkil posted [p:881962201] in What's a f...
