turn on the light switch and heard a zapping sound
the light won't turn on
must be a dead switch, thought to myself


decided to hit menards (midwest store only)



cheap stuff, cost of living is low here, stuff is cheap here



found the cheapest switch i can find  54 cent



came back home, took out everything
install new switch
p=pebhmong (so you know im legit)



old switch




total cost, not even a dollars
save $50-100 whatever the electrician charges these days

back in 2008 when there was that housing market crashes
and all these nice home starting dropping and going for dirt cheap
obama was giving out tax $$$ for you to buy a home

cheap home and tax $$$

lol

i sure did take a advantage of the ONCE IN A LIFETIME BUYING opportunity
late 2009 to 2010 was a great time to buy your first home

your 54 cent single pole light switch......I would never buy one as cheap as that.  (I'm an electrician by trade).

[Gucci K]

your light 54 cent light switch......I would never buy one as cheap as that.  (I'm a electrician by trade).

when his light went out...didn't a light bulb go up in his head to trouble shoot that first before buying a new switch? ha!

there's nothing wrong choosing a cheap light switch, if you don't mind fixing it, in another 4-5mo or so (depends on the constant use).  cheap light switches have poor electricity conductivity, it could cause shocking and/or worst, fire hazards.

A lot of the light switch were less than $5
I don’t know how much more $$$

Works fine

I wish my house burn down
So I can collect that $200k home insurance

Lol

[Mr_Mechanic]

it may work fine, but those cheaper devices has cheaper parts in them.  unless, like you stated, you want your house to burn down.

Some likes to repeat the cycle over and over again...don't have the basic math skills to calculate the long term time and resource cost of that method...but he lives in his mom's basement so ..not surprised..

So instead of "wish", why not just do powerball and lottery since you claimed to be the "hmong Nostradamus" and "is always right"?

Oh, that's right, frauds wishing for things like "wish my house burn down so I can collect" is part of your nature and rep...

that's very smart of you to take your chance while you had it. during that time i was just starting school in a new state so i couldnt take part. now i make the big bucks but cant afford the house i want. i need to move to a place with cheaper housing. or if my husband can actually go find a job that would be great. but he refuses because he says i make too much n he rather stay home to watch the kid.   

yep. here i am. still renting cuz i my partner aint helping.
