It's all fun and part of the hobby if people what to explore more esoteric tangents.But when people start rewiring breaker boxes, house wiring and installing non UL devices, that's where the hobby ends and bad judgement begins. Now we're talking about property damage, insurance issues, possible litigation and even possible bodily injury.
I'm not exaggerating. The five years I spent as an electrician I worked three home repairs that resulted in deaths. One child from faulty pool rewire, one adult laborer from outdoor under ground wire and one child from a faulty home installed heater wiring.
Addendum: Wow! I can't even explain how I felt after reading that post????
BTW the adult laborer's family did sue
Three house fires and one business fire from home repairs.
A little warning to those of you living in houses that were built before 1975. Aluminum wiring was used in many of them. It's use was quickly outlawed because of it's high fire potential from stress breaks and over heating even at it's intended amperage rating. You may not see it because it was used extensively as "feeder" lines in attics, crawl spaces and walls.
