Ever have one of those days where you swear you did everything right, only to find you’ve wired the switch for the living room to the laundry room! Just the other week, I had a customer throw their hands up laughing when I told them their lights were ‘taking a holiday’ on the switch. Good thing it was a quick fix, but man, we all need a good chuckle sometimes.
I can totally relate! Just last month, I had a similar laugh with a client when I accidentally wired the hallway lights to the outdoor motion sensor. It’s wild how one little slip can turn into a comedy show.
Funny you mention that! I once had a client’s lights blink like a disco when I mixed up the circuits — definitely a ‘holiday’ vibe! Now, I always use three different colored markers for my wires, just to avoid any future partying lights… @i_chang58, have you tried that?
, I hear ya! Just last week, I thought I nailed a living room circuit, only to have the dining room lights turn on instead… It drives me nuts when I can’t rely on my memory, so I’ve started keeping a simple sketch handy for tricky jobs.
