Basic Electrical Wiring Tips

First and foremost, when working with electrical wiring remember one important maxim. “Electricity can kill”. It is important you fully respect it when working on electrical wiring in the home.  In many municipalities you may not even be allowed to work on it, and in most cases you will need a permit at a minimum.  In my experience local building inspectors will provide homeowners permits for small projects if they present an electrical wiring diagram plan and can demonstrate some level of basic electrical wiring knowledge.

A couple of key things to remember when it comes to residential electrical wiring:

  • Black and Red wires are typically “Hot” meaning current (Amps) are flowing from the circuit breaker to the appliance or electrical box.

 

  • White wires are usually the “Returns” where current (Amps) will return back to the circuit breaker after passing through the appliance/load.
  • The ground wire is normally bare and attaches to the appliance frame. Normally current should not be running through it. The only time current should be running through it is when there is a short circuit, and when this does happen the circuit breaker should trip killing current flow to the appliance and wire.

 

  • White and ground wires should not be connected together, except back at the circuit panel bus bar. If so, every time the appliance is turned on, electricity will flow through both the white return wire and the ground wire which is a dangerous situation.

 

 

 

Basic plumbling Tips 

 

Anyone who has dealt with a leaky faucet knows firsthand what a nuisance it can be. If the problem isn’t the constant sound of dripping, it may just as well be the considerable damage consistently flowing water can cause to your sink’s basin. Address both these problems and you are still left with the most maddening of all – wasted water than can add up quickly in just a few months. The good news is that fixing a broken faucet is usually quite simple to do, and all you need to get started is a few basic tools and a rudimentary knowledge of the four different faucet types.

By far the most common type of faucet is also the oldest: compression faucets. These work, unsurprisingly, by applying pressure to the valve in the form of a rubber washer. As you turn the handles, a screw drives the rubber washer into the space to create a tight seal. The problem is that so much mechanical duress will inevitably compromise the integrity of any washer, leaving you with an incomplete seal. The result? Leaking that cannot be ceased no matter how hard you turn.

Thankfully, compression faucets are among the easiest types to repair. Before you begin, you will want to shut off water to the area and clog the drain with a towel or cloth – this keeps screws and other parts from slipping into your home’s plumbing system. Most homes employ simple handles that can be unscrewed manually, giving you instant access to the stem, washer and valve seat. Look for the part that has eroded over time – this is most likely a washer, though especially old homes may use twine or thread instead. Check the size and replace it with a matching part, and you should expect a flawless seal for many years to follow.
