Trying to strap MC to the open side of a metal stud and I already know this is about to start a holy war in the comments. 😅
Some guys will say clips, some will say brackets, and somebody’s uncle is definitely going to defend zip ties like they’re listed hardware.
What’s your go-to clean method for this? ⚡

Should Gratuities Be Obligatory? As I walked up to a restaurant, I saw this query displayed: SHOULD TIPPING BE MANDATORY? The original intent of tipping was to express appreciation for superior service, but it has started to feel like an unavoidable custom. Some contend that servers' livelihoods depend on tips, while others argue that it is the employer's duty to ensure fair remuneration for their staff. If a restaurant includes a 20% service charge by default, is it still a voluntary payment or simply another fee? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Just… I’m no inspector, but I’m pretty sure this isn’t how that’s supposed to go.
Open splices, terminal blocks screwed to framing, and Romex just casually joining the party like it’s a science fair project.
Somewhere, a junction box is crying.

A circuit measures 120V from hot to ground but 0V from hot to neutral. What's likely wrong.

Quick electrical rough-in question. I’m using these metal boxes and I’m not sure where the ground screw is supposed to go. There are multiple holes in the back of the box, and I don’t want to use the wrong one or create a bad bond. Also wondering how high or low from the box location you usually drill through the studs when running wire. Trying to do this neatly and avoid making rookie mistakes. 😅⚡

Where would you place the ground screw and drill the stud holes?

Service call: "Lights are flickering and the oven keeps throwing error codes." 🤔⚡

Arrived expecting a loose connection or maybe a failing neutral.

Found... this. 😂

For those wondering, yes, that's URD run underneath and tied together with Romex-style two-screw connectors. Because apparently someone looked at several different wiring methods and decided to use all of them at once.

At that point the flickering lights and confused oven were probably the most reasonable things on the property. 😅

The best part of service work is getting to see the creative solutions people come up with when they don't have the right materials, the right tools, or the right amount of concern.

**Before anyone asks:** Not my work. I was just the lucky guy who got called out to figure out why everything was acting possessed. 👻⚡

It's fixed now, but this one was too good not to share.

I bet this guy’s boss never thought he’d have to explain which way is up on a trough. 😂⚡

When the power needs an upgrade but the wires decide to freestyle. ⚡️😂 Job done… with a side of sky spaghetti.

Hubby hit the main line from meter to panel in our basement trying to mount something.
How do we repair this hole? Are we completely screwed? Do we need an entire new cable?

"When the restaurant door features a mandatory math lesson demanding a 40% tip... yeah, it’s time to talk about how broken this system is. 💀 Expecting a $32.92 gratuity on an $82.34 check isn't hospitality—it's an owner subsidizing their payroll directly out of the customer’s pocket. Servers deserve real, guaranteed wages, not a public guilt-trip campaign. Shifting 100% of the wage burden onto the diner is a business model fail.
