Default Shed antics
Started wiring a shed for a friend. Had the PVC end all done outside with the wires capes off in a PVC box outside. I go to finish wiring it on Saturday and he tells me that another friend did it and it's not working right... I wanted to shoot him... Also. This is all vacuum cord...
So my 1hr project turned into 2 hours. I wasn't happy at all. As soon as I opened up the box the wire nuts that were way too big fell right off the wires. One wasn't even on when it was in the box. He told me it took them 4 hours to get this done. 1 hour just strip the individual conductors from the vacuum cord....

Could be somewhat my fault. I had it there on a temp light setup...
