I had a licensed electrician do some work for me the other day. He did two things that appeared to me to be questionable.
He ran wiring for a ceiling fan (w/ 3-60W bulbs) on the same circuit breaker lead as the range hood, garage door opener, several outlets and outside lights in the garage. He said the circuit was 20 amps and did not think it would be an issue. The other thing he did was combine the switch for the fan light with the a switch for a pantry light. They are two different circuit breaker leads. This did not seem like a good idea to me and I fear it may be a code violation. I would like your opinion on both issues. If there is anything that should be corrected I want to make the request now.
Thanks in advance

What causes a vcr to chew up tapes and what can be done to repair them? Thank you much for your assitance.

Good Morning, Guardian:
VCR's start eating tapes when the tape path gets gummy from the oxide build up. The tape path needs to be cleaned.
