WTF… That is crazy. There is so much on the horizon! I have contacts at Ferguson, IPL, and CIR with the superintendents if you want to keep on the commercial industrial path. I actually had “Lunch” to watch the Bulls game with IPL today, Could have made a play at it then. ---

How does one “Sort out” two outlets? Plug in a couple lamps and start flipping breakers? My best suggestion is to remove the devices from the wall, lick your fingers and start randomly poking at the wires. Make sure that you are in bare feet as well, Safety First. ---

I typically tape leads to my nipples and put the other ends into the receptacle/ splice. Much better than using a multimeter. 277v really makes them burn! but yeah I’ll send you a PM right now. ---

> [@tpgsr](#): > > How does one “Sort out” two outlets? Plug in a couple lamps and start flipping breakers? lol. Neither outlet works but the GFI lights are on. I’ve swapped out the outlets with new ones and it’s the same problem. Breaker is on. Wiring looks normal. Test & reset buttons do nothing. ---

Is this legit? NY fucking up the deal ugh [http://www.wgrz.com/news/local/sources-nys-behind-75m-in-payments-to-solar-city-contractors/56659755](http://www.wgrz.com/news/local/sources-nys-behind-75m-in-payments-to-solar-city-contractors/56659755) “BUFFALO, N.Y. – A source tells 2 On Your Side’s Michael Wooten that contractors, sub-contractors, vendors and suppliers at the Solar City construction site in Buffalo are owed north of $75 million by New York State.” “Some subcontractors are telling workers they could be laid off at Solar City site. One company has already started the process. Currently, 900 to 1,000 workers are employed at the massive construction site” Seems like all BS aside SolarCity might pull out a win with the plant ---

When it comes to payment draws, NY is the worst. On the positive end, ALL state projects require bonding. Contractors and suppliers will eventually get paid no matter what, it may just take extra time and effort. ---
