We have drivers that drive on the left side of the road here in the US also. We call them drunk drivers.

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.

I don't know if it is law or not. I was first told that the Close Door button was disabled on all US installations by a good friend of mine who was a lifetime elevator installer/maintenance tech/repairman. Although he jokes around a lot, he wasn't joking about this. Before I retired, I worked in conjunction with at least 10 different elevator repairmen and I asked them all the same question..."Has the Close Door button really been disabled throughout the US". The answer was always the same - Yes. One told me that it has to do with the American Disabilities Act, but I don't know that for a fact.

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

Yeah, but ours were edible.

The elevator "Close Door" button has been disabled in ALL public elevators in the United States. Quit pushing the damn thing...it doesn't do anything!

To see the tattooed lady, the bearded lady, the fat man, the wolf boy and the slowest humans in the World...all you have to do is go to WalMart.

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?

A tree would help also.

Yep. That was one of the drawbacks of the wing windows of old. Great for giving a breeze to the driver or passenger but diverted wasps/bees in also. I got stung at least twice because of it. Another drawback was that they made it easy for someone to break into your car, although it wasn't all that hard to do anyway. I still wish wing windows were on vehicles though.

Thanks alot...dick.

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.
