I had a ceiling fan with lights that was controlled with one light switch. I decided to replace the fan with flush-mount light fixture and change the light switch light to LED dimmer light switch. (after noticing flickering lights) after doing all that the results are: I can't turn off the light or even dim it. I noticed that at the light switch box: I have one hot black wire and two black wires travel up, two white wires that twisted and caped and two copper wires are twisted and caped. in the ceiling box I have one black, one white and one copper that I connected to the corresponding white and black wires of the new fixture. any thoughts? Thanks

Hi, I am in the process of replacing an 1970 stove top and wall oven. When I removed the stove top, I noticed it was 10 gauge wire. I went to my basement and found the junction box for the oven and stove. I confirmed an 8 gauge coming in and two 10 gauge coming out (one to the oven and one to the stove). I am going to take the two 10 gauge out and send 8 gauge to my new all in one stove/oven. One question I had, when I look at the 8 gauge, I have a red and a black wire and instead of a normal bronze ground, I have this silver wires that seem to be feathered together - it isn't solid. This appears to be my ground - especially since the two 10 gauges have the grounds hooked up to it. I bought new 8 gauge to tie into it in the junction box. The new 8 gauge has a black, white, and ground. I am going black to black, white to red, and ground to this silver feathered wire. I want to confirm I am correct here and to see if there is anything else I need to be aware of. In the end this will go to a 50 amp outlet that I bough to go to the oven. I am using a three prong outlet as the stove came with both wire hook up (3 prong and 4 prong) Thank in advance Brian
