Cocaine is unstable in alkaline solutions, so it’s not even theoretically going to last till the concrete sets.

Not that that would stop anyone from trying.

The obvious solution is detouring some of the block coke before it hits the grinder, and you drat well know that's going to happen. Chip a few grams off an edge, hey presto the septum-free life.

I am no electrician, but that was some scary electrical wiring. The before was especially scary, only slightly less was the whole “Eh, I have watched a bunch of YouTube videos, so just reusing this 240V circuit that has been tapped 3 times with a 30Amp breaker in a sub panel is fine”. Just ignore all the janky electrical tape and termites holding up the rest of the circuit.

Dryer died just before I left on a ten day trip.

Went to install backup dryer.
Outlet is wrong for modern plugs.
Pull outlet to swap it to a modern 50A receptacle.

It's loving 6/2 Service Entrance cable.
No ground in sight.
Gary used loving construction adhesive to hold the wire in the wall.


The single gang work box also wasn't into a stud, just a floating piece of 1"x2" wedged into the wall.

I'm now running 6/3, my arms hurt and my wallet is smoking.

loving Gary.

You likely could have followed some instructions in the dryer install sheet to make it work for basically the cost of a new plug. Plus whatever you needed to properly secure the box.

But also construction adhesive? :stonk: was it directly buried?

Wowww how was that even connected and to what outlet design? I was so relieved when I replaced my three prong outlet and found it had the right wiring available for a four prong.

Wired to a NEMA 10-50R. The wire is 6 with two hot, and neutral. (The ground sheath was used as N, only ground is that at the G/N in the panel.)
In a too small single gang box, also ungrounded.

No burial, this went into the basement.

This is how it was installed, pan is only to hold it.



Yes, I could have changed the plug, but I'd still have no ground.

I'm also using 6/3 so when I redo the basement and put the laundry down here, I can put a sub-panel in its place and move some lights to that sub-panel.

Turns out the range circuit is ALSO using service entrance wiring w/o a ground.

Heh, this reminded me of my last place. Plug in the coax cable for my modem, getting no internet. Call the internet company, guy takes off the wall plate and there is absolutely nothing plugged in the other side. There were no wires in the wall. Just a wall plate. He had to run a wire from the post into the house and to the wall plate.
