I was running late on a setup and thought about just hooking things up without the usual checks. It didn't sit right with me (you know, that gut feeling), since a bad connection can cause real problems down the line. What's your take on dealing with time pressure versus doing a proper install?
I was running cable in a crawl space last week. I found an old junction box that was still active. It could have caused a shock if I wasn't careful. Now I make sure to check for live wires first. It's a basic thing that can prevent accidents.
I just got back from a week at the beach and saw how salty air eats at metal fittings on the piers. It made me check all my outdoor connectors twice now. Do you do anything extra for installs near the ocean?
