    The electrons are moving at incredible speeds and this generates heat. So when you unplug the cord from the wall it self cauterizes preventing it from bleeding out. However in some older houses the fixtures are made with aluminum the self cauterization is a bit slower to take effect. It is helpful to have a few of these on hand.

    Good morning, ugh more coffee.

    Think it makes them French Canadians, or Frenchies from Quebec.

    Yesterday it rained on top of the snow that first fell so got somewhat lucky. Still had to lay down Mag Chloride on the drive after shoveling the mix off but it could have been a lot worse if it was the other way around. Be careful!

    The million dollar question is are they going to lift the hatches for you or do you have to squeeze your old arse through a scuttle :rofl: Good news is sounds like they are lifting the hatches for you. Why the engine and firerooms were called the "hole" most of the time you were going through one to get there.

    When moving network cables either Ethernet or fiber optic we found that self cauterization doesn't work so well due to the high speeds of the electrons and you need to pinch the cables off as hard as you can 6" from the end when moving them to the correct port. No more, no less.

    Have you tried using these spring clamp jimmies, they are supposed to maintain even pressure around the wire.
