Hello, Thanks for the replies. I think the coupler or sleeve option is the best and easiest option for me. But while looking at my local hardware stores websites I can't see any of these couplers/sleeves being sold. Top rails and other components for the chain link fencing but not the...

Ahhh, figures. I didn't even know they existed. Thanks for the help.

Hello all, Was wondering if someone could help me on this attempt at repairing a gate to my chain link fence. Now this gate is fairly big, haven't officially measured it yet, but I think it's at least 8ft across, enough to allow a truck to get through into the back yard. The top rail on this...

Hey all I am back again with good news. I finally fixed my problem, well at least found a solution anyways to my goal which was to get exterior garage lights working again and being able to control them from inside my house. Here is what I did. I had to open up the wall between the...

In the pic, if you are talking about the black single wire next to the single white one. If I remember correctly I think it's coax cables for cable or internet. But I will check again when I go home.

Maybe but if it was it wasn't done by me, nor my wife I don't think. We have not done any digging of the sort since we moved in. I am not positive about that hanging wire cause it's hard to get a good look up in there because I am between floor joists and ceiling tiles, but judging from where...

Could both sides of the romex be broken? The wire came from the light switch into the junction box and was connected/spliced with lugs to romex coming out of junction box. If 3 out of the four wires were open what are the chances that both sides of the romex have broken wires?

Back again. This is what I did this time. I opened up junction box and seperated all the joining wires to try to isolate them and used my digital multimeter to measure for resistance on each wire to ground within the box. The only wire that came back with a good result was the white from the...

Good call, will do that.

Back again. The above pics of the wiring has since been changed and cleaned up a little but still hasn't changed anything regarding the outer garage lights. Wiring looks like this now. Upon further inspection of the junction box, i thought the the wiring of the switch connected to the...

So I fiddled with the with my Fluke again today and this is what I did. I isolated each wire this time by using tone generator and putting the red clip on each wire white, black and red(I was mistaken thinking there wasn't enough wire protruding to clamp onto, but there was) and the black clip...

Can I hook up the tone generator on just the black and see what that gives me?

I disconnected the neutral(white) and hot(black) from the neutral bundle and the switch itself, these two wires are bigger gauge than the rest of the wires. It is here where I connected the tone generator wires red on white and black on black. I did not do the red in this romex because although...

Hey all, I'm back finally. Sorry but I have been away for work and just got back this weekend. Anyways I received my Fluke Networks Pro 3000 and used it. On the switch and here is what I found. After I hooked up the tone generator on the switch wires I proceeded to go outside to the garage...

Just ordered the Fluke Networks Pro 3000. Just have to wait till it comes in, figure out how to use it and then I will report back with results.
