I ran the wire from the circuit       breaker along the wall and held it there using Scotch tape. I wired it       to the microwave oven and backstabbed the neutral from an existing       outlet. I then loosened the screw that holds the wall plate to the       outlet on the said outlet and wrapped the ground wire around it.              They told me that what I did was a serious NEC code violation. I told       the Nippon Electric Company they can come over here and kiss my fat ass.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
