yeah, I got lots of questions lately.
ok, see the wire the runs off to the right, black and yellow. What would it be used for? I haven't followed it out yet. The bottom I believe, with four wires, yellow, black green and red, I think is an old phone wire. Looks similar to others. I can't believe how much junk wire this house has in it. I've removed a couple hundred feet of old phone wire going to those old style four prong phone jacks. One room the guy looped it all the way around the room, never connected it to anything, just out to another room with a jack.
I'm replacing the wire below tomorrow but just curious, a 12/2 of some type. Nothing major since I'm replacing it but was just going to look it up and I'm not seeing it. My google skills must be weak tonight.
oh yeah, I just want to say GAH!! The silver wire, by the way goes to a ceiling box, very accessible. From there one side goes to a fluorescent I'm replacing. On the other side it goes two and a half feet and then stops. Has a couple of wire nuts on it. Then the ceiling was covered so you never see it. All he had to do was open the ceiling box and take the wire out of the loop.
