    Collatz: Planned Outage on 9/27

    The project will be down this morning starting around 9 or 9:30am while a new electrical circuit is added but should be back up within a few hours.

    Had to not only install a new circuit, but fix all the issues with the previous one. I think the person who installed that one got his license from a box of cracker jacks. About the only thing correct with it was the guage of wire that was used. Box not mounted properly. Counduit not anchored properly. Box to box connections incorrect. Boxes not grounded properly. Too many outlets on a single circuit. Red, blue, black, black, white, white, and white (yes, 6 wires) all connected to a single outlet and the outlet wasn't connected to a light switch! At least it is all up to code now.
