I'm in the process of renovating my entire house so I can sell it and move to my retirement place 600 miles away. I don't need to hire anyone since I can do almost everything myself, having already built an entire house, and watched my dad in his contruction work.
I can do plumbing, electrical, roofing, flooring, etc. But every once in awhile I run into something I can probalby do but don't know how.
About 15 years ago, I ripped out the electric baseboard heater in the bathroom, since a) I heat the house with wood, and b) when my son was under 11, he would get up at night to go to the bathroom, and always pee on the heater not in the toilet in his sleepy condition.
But in selling the house I bought a new one to put in. There are the three standard wires going into it: unsheathed ground, white and black. But the heater only has a connection for a black and an unsheathed ground. Where does the white one connect on the heater? The instructions are inscrutable to me, even if they are in three languages.
