> Thanks for the help. When I realized I had a couple flex connectors on hand I thought that’d be the easiest and simplest way to go. Plus, the connectors came from an old accidental order that wasn’t worth the $2.95 to return. Using them provided a great opportunity to justify the “wait, don’t just throw them out–I may need them someday!” habit of hoarding odd screws and fittings.

I’m almost at the end of the last circuit–I’ve been getting your help putting this workshop together for almost a year and a half now. I’ve loved learning all this–what to do with all this electrical knowledge once it’s all done?!

I see now why you were having a problem. Looks good. Basic electrical knowledge is something that will keep paying you back all your life. That and a basic knowledge of how to replace faucets and repair a toilet can save you thousands over the years.
