Hi Guys, I am new here and could use a hand figuring something out. I had a carpenter wall in my shop that was already wired. The desired outcome for the electrical was to have three 110 outlets in the ceiling to plug my shop lights into. What I had originally were two switches, one by each door that controlled two light fixtures in the ceiling. Prior to the carpenter, I had already converted the light fixture on the end of the run to a receptacle. I asked him to turn the other light fixture into a receptacle on the same circuit and add a third receptacle for the third light. He removed the light fixture and left the wires (two hot, two neutral, two ground) hanging from the box for the receptacle. He put in a new third box for a new third receptacle and laid a piece of 14/2 across the span from box to box, unconnected to anything as yet. The issue is that no matter how I connect the wires to the new plug, I cannot get the switch to work. The existing light comes on when I turn on the breaker and the switch doesn’t work. If I leave the receptacle out and just wire nut the old wires, the one light and the switch work. Can someone please give me some advise here (other than hire an electrician) This shouldn’t be as hard as it is turning out to be. Thanks, Roger Wilkerson

Hello folks, I have a situation where my circuit breaker is becoming detached from my stucco siding. As you can see in the attachment below, it is ripping off the side of the house. I'm not really a stucco guy or even a fix it yourself kind of person, but it appears as though the previous residence have attempted a "fix" which involved basically re-stuccoing it back on the last time it fell down. The leading theory is that during heavy rains, the water runs underground, shifting the earth and causing the tubes holding the electric wires to adjust which in turn pulls the circuit breaker off more and more. With that said, I have a couple questions for you more knowledgeable folks: 1) Could this possibly be the responsibility of the electrical company, i.e. can I get them to fix it for me? 2) What is the best solution to this problem given that I intend to live in this house for the next 10 years. Basically, what would you folks do? Thank you very much in advance for the assistance with this problem. If you need any more information, please let me know. [ATTACH]43871[/ATTACH]
