I don't think it's easy. I suspect it took quite a bit of skill.

That has got to be a heavy rig to carry around. Looks like something from a Predator movie. But....

^^Shouldn't that be in green?

Probably had much more to do with laziness than any kind of skill....if that's real.

You'd prob need 2 separate boxes. One metal, the other plastic. The plastic one has the screw contacting a hot, the metal box is properly grounded.

More work to make this happen than just using the correct stuff to begin with.

Like I said, if it's real.

Wow, so if someone uses thier hand to sweep over both switches at once, they will not stand still for long. Wow.





So you are in the hospital and need more cigarettes, so you buy them from the nurse. Sounds weird.

This is how I did it:



Leads for the meter shown are in the outlet below. Other leads on the cover screws are just hanging.
