Wednesday morning toolbox re-arrangement.

Could maybe use him to pull wires or hold a tiny light.

Sorry buddy, gotta let you go.

Hot, humid day, raining, no air conditioner in the unit, tearing out carpet and padding that is glued to a wood sub-floor.

Great arm work out and a sauna level sweat. I'm in heaven.

Sometimes the problem isn’t where the symptom is.

A dead outlet turned out to be perfectly fine structurally but only showing 75 volts on voltmeter (120 expected) Found the loose neutral connection at a completely different outlet upstream, re-wired correctly and no outlets needed to be replaced, saving money.

Finding and understanding the actual cause is what separates the pros from the parts swappers!! 🔧⚡
