Breaker box look correct?
Great. But are we in agreement that all the neutrals need to be moved to the left and all of the grounds need to be moved to the top ? No cross-over between? A ground needs to be run to the air conditioner? Fix the splices? What else? Locate it where it can be reached as long as I am doing it? Doesn't that mean new wiring to reach the new location? I;m not going to get that much fixed without a certifying body so grandfather the location? -

Forgot you only talk American. With its limit 300 year history you fail to access the rich diversity of proper English. Here...educate yourself.....for once. The expression “as keen as mustard” originates from 17th-century England and is used to describe someone who is eager, enthusiastic, or very keen. Origins of the Phrase: 1. Early Usage in 1670s: • The phrase is believed to have first appeared in Thomas Shadwell’s 1671 play The Rehearsal. • It described someone who was excitable and enthusiastic—traits associated with the sharp, spicy flavor of mustard. 2. Mustard’s Popularity in English Cuisine: • Mustard was a highly popular condiment in England at the time, known for its sharp and strong flavor. • Its pungency likely inspired the metaphor for someone who was sharp-witted, eager, or ready for action. 3. Connection to Prepared Mustard: • In the 17th century, prepared mustard became widely available and was often described as “ready-made”—a term also associated with someone being ready and prepared for any situation. 4. Literary Evolution: • Over time, the expression evolved to describe not just sharpness but enthusiasm and energy, reflecting the zestful nature of mustard. Modern Usage: • The phrase is still used today to mean someone is extremely eager or enthusiastic about something. • Example: “He’s as keen as mustard to get started on the new project.” So, the “keen as mustard” expression draws from mustard’s sharp flavor, symbolizing energy, enthusiasm, and readiness in human behavior. -

I have a Xmas party at 3pm. Nothing gets me in the spirit more than intellectually destroying nitwits like yourself. Got something interesting to talk about? Building codes in Turkey? Dual pricing at the new Thai casinos? Trotsky's affair with Frida Kahlo? -

No have. I guess you really have nothing in your life. Nothing you hold dear. Sad...a waste of good oxygen.- 1
