I agree, I didn't find it necessarily a deal breaker, and I liked the story.

but those couple of parts... I remember thinking to myself "yeah, OK, sure, he is going to just go back there alone"

but I thought similar as you, maybe that's how a small Korean village operates. and really most all horror requires you to "suspend some disbelief".

I thought it was good, but there were things just didn't jive with me.

but I felt the detective had to do several things that to me seems out of character for the story to continue, mostly that the detective would pursue this individual alone, especially after what he in the camp the first time...

even "back in the day" in the US the detective would not have been alone. I believe there were a few other instances like that...

And if it's a basement, doesn't soy d like this is.

But a ceiling can help quite a bit with the noise of people walking above. Insulation too, but....

really a stranded to solid splice shouldn't be nutted... it is allowed, but like you said is difficult to get a good solid connection.

the big thing for me anymore is ladders.. I don't like them, I don't like working on them.

I am always on a 6' fiberglass step ladder, but much beyond that I don't care for.

I still do it when I have to, but I haven't been able to shake the uncomfortable feeling when being anything much over 6-8' it lessens as I spend more time, but quickly returns the next time.

no, you don't, the breakers more or less press fit...

make sure you are comfortable with what you are doing and it makes sense that it is safe to you...

I should add when I say it is surely cold its not connected to supply anymore was wrong, if there was another point in the circuit that you cannot see and the circuit is connected to supply at that point... this would certainly cause trouble so it is best to verify it is cold before touching it regardless.

the steps are simple enough, but overlooking one of them could be dangerous.

understanding how it is safe is the best.

you shouldn't have to get your screw driver in there.

turn the breaker off. that screw, and the small black wire connecting it is now cold.

remove the breaker, test this wire if you still aren't sure its cold. (it is surely cold now, its not connected to supply anymore)

connect the new breaker to wire, (you should be able to do so plenty clear from that big scary black wire)

ensure that the new breaker is off (to minimize/negate arcing) and insert it.

finally turn on the new breaker energizing that black wire again.

if you are unsure how to accomplish these steps safely, call an electrician.

its really only "scary" the first time, shouldn't really be then.

as with anything potentially dangerous/deadly.

you should understand what you are doing and why you are doing it and how it ensures your safety. if it still seems unsafe, maybe it is and you should consult a pro.

at the same time, I would recommend looking into ways of stopping this from reoccurring. maybe insulating your duct work different things like that.

I am sure the remediation professional can give you some recommendations once they check things out.
