Howdy from the YeeHaw State

[Jeremy Ragan]

Hello all! I'm electrified to be here! It's shocking how active and helpful this community is!

 

[telectrix]

welcome aboard. how's life in Tarrant County, Texas?

 

[Jeremy Ragan]

Warming up quite nicely! Just trying to sort out my over complicated house (electrically-speaking).

 

[Jeremy Ragan]

Ha! ...and I just realized this is a UK-based forum. We watch a lot of Peppa Pig around here so that should help me translate the Queen's English over to our American colloquialisms.

Out of curiosity, how long does it usually take for a post to get moderator approval?

we're not total hillbillies over here. we watch animal cops houston 3 times a week, along with a few american car bashing progs. why is it that americans who mod ify cars into super hot rods all look like they belong in ZZ top?

Because they spend all their money on their hot rods they need those beards to trap food to save it for later so they can eat.

Welcome to the forum Jeremy!
We do electrics slightly different over here, or "across the pond" which can be interesting or confusing depending on what you're trying to achieve, and thankfully we don't all speak like Peppa Pig.

You'll have to wait for a grownup to approve access to the DIY section - not all professional electricians approve of giving out free advice so the DIY section is fenced off.
What was the question?

What was the question?

and work is the scourge of the drinking class. in victorian times, the water was so polluted that everyone drank beer. the Russians drink vodka because it freezes at around -25 C. when water would be solid ice.
