[Shop-talk] aluminum house wiring

[Eric J Russell]

Thanks for the replies about aluminum house wiring. We are weighing 
our options. Either re-wiring the whole house or paying an electrician 
to add copper pigtails using a copalum compression die. 
http://www.alwirerepair.com/copalum_crimp_method.htm I have not yet 
investigated whether this tool is available to the D-I-Y'er.
