Your laziness and stupidity is still making me richer!

Did a bunch of stuff for a home sale closing the HI found. Four of which were receps that showed open ground.

Hmmm. Never thought of that.

Now, where can I buy some "Hot and Neutral Reversed!" stickers?

You mean "do not use" stickers?


BTW, had a strange reading with a plug in style tester showing open ground. Checked the ground connections and eveything looked fine. Used a plug in tester/tracer with lights on it and showed H & N reversed, which it was. The first tester was a red $10 GB brand from big box store, second one is the transmitter for an Ideal tracer.

I've seen a few instances of plug-in 3-light testers lying like politicians.

Those red testers can be junk. I use an ideal that works great but one of my guys swears his red one is right even though ive proved him wrong multiple times.

You got off easy. We did one for a home sale and most of the recepts in the house had no ground. Someone had clipped off the ground wires when they wired the house. Managed to pull enough ground wire to get a Wago on them. Some of them had the neutral and hot reversed!

Have fun getting rich pigtailing some ground wires together and terminating them on 4 receptacles.

Carlon blue box.. most likely wired by homeowner or carpenter doing his own wiring..

Good chance there are other problems lurking inside those walls...

What is it with you guys and Carlon blue boxes? We use them all the time here, its the norm for new construction...

It's B4T's way of diverting your attention from burying PVC boxes. :laughing:

It is not a joke.. it is fact.. I have found plenty of hack jobs that were attached to Carlon blue boxes..
