Around my parts, grounds must be crimped together to join.

Thanks for helping me out folks.

I installed the outlet and I'm getting a green light from the outlet
tester Swingman suggested that I get, so life is good. For the time
being, the switch for the garbage disposal will turn a lamp on and off. : )

Splicing together three guage 12 ground wires under pitiful conditions
seemed to be the hardest part. I think it was Mike M. who said last year
that one can do it even if the wires are not straight. Gosh, I can't.
But I did end up with a really nice-lookin' splice--and it was a good
thing I did when I did, because wire was getting scarce : )

The rest of the garbage disposal install should be like a piece-of-cake,
or something else if you don't like cake.
