Yeah, IMO the AFI breakers were, and still are, a solution to a problem that (for the most part) didn't exist. Lobbyists and big money started influencing NEC many years ago and hasn't stopped. The AFI requirements have added completely unnecessary costs to new and some remodels.

I know. I'm talking about using them on something land based.

For aircraft, yes. For other applications, well...that depends.

I really wish all homeowners would do just what you did. It would even be better if the original electrician's as-built blueprints, or copies, were retained/stored for future reference. Ya done good Alpo!

That's the way it's supposed to happen. Sometimes bad things can happen if somewhere in the circuit "daisy chain" there is loose/bad/improper connections. Zinsco/FPE breakers are famous for not tripping right away, if at all, thus creating an unintentional welding type situation. Usually, the switch doesn't last long either, expecially if it's a cheapo 15 amp rated residential type switch. I have used this method many times but only on newer type buildings and only after checking panel manufacture. For non-professional electricians, I do not suggest this method. Breaker locators aren't that expensive or, if in a smaller type location (house or similar) you can just plug in a radio, turn it up loud and turn off breakers until the music stops.

Hey, don't laugh...it works on most makes of panels EXCEPT Zinsco and FPE panels. If you use this on those type panels...be prepared for a ruined cord end, receptacle and switch. On the bright side (really bright side) you'll get a free lesson in welding and welding theory.

Let me guess, just e-mail his buddy who just happens to have exactly what you're looking for.

Yeah, but ours were edible.

OOOH, a bullet hole through the cranium would make the illusion even better!

Yep...that's me...from 1 to 9.

Is his name Hunter by chance?

DON'T be behind this guy at airport security. Trust me on this.

See how well that worked for her! I always try to have a Plan A, Plan B and a SHTF Plan. Having multiple plans have got me this far, so I'll continue it.

Rednecks just go to family reunions to pick up girlfriends/boyfriends. At least, that's what I heard.

Hmm, I must have missed that day in geometry class. In reality, I went to one week of geometry class and never went back. Got away with it too...until the grades came out.

The scarecrow said "The sum of the square roots of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side." Said the same thing, the opposite way.

Isn't that the opposite of what the Scarecrow said?

I always wonder if Gary Busey and Boris Johnson were somehow related.

The pot was probably extra.

Do we have to boycott Munster energy drinks now?

Eye In The Sky...boy that brings back some memories. The sun in your eyes made some of your lies worth believing...what a great line!

Before the '70's it caused by... 1850 to 1898...The damn Yankees caused them. 1898 to 1914...The Mexicans caused them. 1914 to 1939...The Germans caused them. 1939 to 1945...The Germans, Italians AND the Japanese caused them. 1945 to 1970's...They were all caused by Communism.
