RE: PSA: light circuits work best when black connects to hot. - JTTHECLOCKMAN - 08-23-2018

What most electricians do is tape the white with black tape but leave a flag on the tape (small piece folded onto itself) This indicates the feed.

Just be aware that it used to be NEC compliant (Art. 200-7 exception 2) to use the white as an ungrounded (hot) supply conductor for supply to a single-pole or two-way and three-way switches, without re-identifying it by marking with another color. Since the white was nutted directly to the black at the receptacle or lighting outlet, there was no question it was hot at that end, but at the switch, the white is (still) hot of course, but you might not know it if you're not aware of how it was commonly done.

Single-pole switch legs without a grounded (neutral) conductor are no longer allowed, but there's zillions out there from decades of construction that have no neutral and the white is hot at the switch. The black was therefor the switched ungrounded (hot) conductor at the lighting or receptacle outlet.

congrats on passing inspection. That's always a relief. I found our local inspectors to be very helpful

Drove up to shop today and there were two big and one little power company trucks gathered at my pole.

They were just getting finished

Now I can weld up the door frame and get the last inspection done, get the insulation guy to show up and MOVE IN!

(Some how that still sounds like a lot of work

So, how many trips to move in???

It is a lot of work. If you don't yet have them, get a set of forks for the tractor....it really makes the job easier. (You''ll need some nylon load slings as well, HF works well).

RE: I PASSED Final inspection!! PSA: light circuits work - Wild Turkey - 08-31-2018

Yep, got forks. Got trailer. Don't got much help

But there is a "hometown" moving service we've used before that may get to work up a sweat for me on the smaller stuff

Imgur link to album

right mouse click on "open link in new tab" and you'll see some pix.

Maybe someone can tell me how to post a picture here from Imgr.

If these show up I've got it figured out -- go to the image in Imgr, click the down arrow in upper right hand corner, copy "BB link" address, delete "[img] at start and end of URL , select "insert image" and add 400 to height and it shows up in the preview.

Hopefully in the real thing too!
