I'm thinking I need to come up with an REC - Redneck Electrical Code. I'll bet I could get a lot of contributions from this forum. I may have to start a thread on that in the Chat forum.

Scotch tape must be double-wrapped if it is used to insulate a wire.

I put it in the humor section because the chat threads don't show up on the new posts page.
@Rednecktek - I included your post before you edited it and added more so you'll need to go update that. Or I can. That's some funny shit man.
