inDrove to a Tuesday morning meetup in Alpharetta and the coffee line taught me more than the speaker
Sounds right, but that was actually Thursday you went, not Tuesday.

inUpdate: My old boss said never trust a homeowner's amp reading, and I finally saw why
Listened to a podcast episode last month where an electrician said the same thing, homeowners usually read amps at startup or with the wrong setting. Now I just tell folks to text me a pic of the meter and panel so I can see it myself before rolling out. Saves everybody the headache.

inWarning: That 'quick attic check' customer almost got me electrocuted last month
Man, attics like that are the worst because everything looks fine until you're already three joists in and can't turn around. I had one in Gresham where the guy swore the decking was solid and I put my foot right through the drywall ceiling of his kitchen below. You did the right thing walking, no paycheck is worth getting fried over some lady's huffing.

inThat $80 capacitor tester I bought was a total waste of money
Did you test those leads on a known good cap before trusting the meter on the job? Those cheap alligator clips can add enough resistance to skew readings, especially on smaller caps. Curious if the brand of tester mattered or if it was just the leads.
