Someone with a free answer asked:

I am replacing my dishwasher. The dishwasher power supply, between the box under the counter and the dishwasher, is within a flexible armored sheath. When I disconnected the power from the old dishwasher, I noticed that there was no ground wire. Before I go to the hardware store, I thought I’d ask if anyone knew if I can just buy the correct dishwasher power supply with three wires, connect in the existing box under the cabinet and move on or if this is a more serious complication. When done, I want the installation to be safe, with the three expected wires though the sheath all the way to the dishwasher.

For what it is worth, I have the knowledge and tools to safely replace dimmer switches, etc., but I don’t do anything “behind the walls”. If this can be done at the box under the sink, I am in business.

Luke asked:


My dad owns a construction company right now and I think that when he retires, I want to take it over. I want to go to college for business and construction. Is this really necessary though. The reason I want to go to college is because I want to turn it into a huge company and I want the tools and knowledge to make that happen. Is this a good decision?
