OK did that and its live now what :)
seriously what if I can't trace i back and disconnect it? Do I have to leave an outlet on the end or is there something else I can do?
Ed_McCarron:
If you do cap them off, you need to leave a blank cover plate on the box - code won't let you cover over (sheetrock, paneling, MDF (if you can get it home...)) the box. If you want to truly get rid of it, you'll need to remove the wire from the source. Some inspectors won't even let you abandon the wire in place - your best bet is to remove the wire AND the box.
protokatie:
Hire an electrician to do the work of covering the outlet box with a blank face plate. Then the next day, take the plate off, hot wire it to some explosives and let your house burn down. Blame it on the electrician, and get a huge cash settlement from their insurance company and buy yourself a mansion.
BTW the past week I have been reading through the entire archive of Dilbert comics, I am at year 2006 or so now. I think I am becoming either catbert or dogbert...
If you want the link to the complete archive, please send me 50 dollars in unmarked bills to an address I will send you via PM.
