Good grief. I knew I was going to get some **** about this, but a well
soldered and insulated splice in a spacious conduit with wide sweeping
turns is hardly dangerous, the damn code be damned. There's about a one
in ten billion chance it will go short or open in the lifetime of the
house, and if it does either, it's STILL not dangerous or difficult to
diagnose or repair. If the retired homeowner on a fixed income wants to
save a few bucks on wire, let him splice the **** if he knows how.
Millions of people survived the advent of electricity before there were
all these laws to protect us from ourselves.


Please stop giving electrical advice.


No. You want to give code advice, fine. I'll give common sense advice
all I want.


If you ever decide to sell your house please let everyone here know
where is so we can avoid it like the plague. God only knows what you
have done to it during your ownership!
