Default O/T - Any electricians (or electrical engineers) out there? Simple question for you . . .

Posted By: S Gross

True story:

My two way switch blew in my old kitchen. I bought a new one, but the old one was old, old (no ground, different color wires etc.). So the new instructions weren't relavent, and I had already taken the old one apart when I realized I should have remembered the set up. Anyway I rewire the new set to the old wires the best I could figure. I turned the electricity back on, and no explosions or fire, so I figure I'm set ....

Then I go to turn on the switch which was for the lights, and, no kidding, the blender turned on !!!!!!!!!!

I told my brother, and he said "I could live with that."
