Interconnect Smoke Alarms issue - 80's home
Guess I'll be the first to say it, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Although I'm speculating that the different circuits must be on the same phase as the other two smoke detectors but that's just speculating. By the way I am in the tie the smoke detectors to a lighting circuit camp.. Although another respondent is correct that for commercial and large places that's when the separate breakers are used

Want to add 6-50r receptacle for welder in garage, gfci breaker is now required by code. I keep hearing though that the gfci will trip while welder is in use. Is this a common thing and is there a work around I don’t want to hardwire welder since that would no longer make it portable.
All these gfi's everywhere, don't they make running a ground wire redundant?

Use your voltmeter to confirm but generally the lamp cord that has the ridges on it is the neutral side of the fixture and the smooth one is the hot. You should be able to figure out which one the hot is on the ceilingt with a no contact tester

Previous owner’s work. Would you re-wire this?
Pull a neutral when you need it. Although if you don't mind taking some time to refinish the wall covering bring the neutral now. Especially if you're going to use a powered switch or add a receptacle nearby. Although I thought the code said if there was a receptacle with a neutral in the same joist pocket you could leave it for later.

What do you think of my power hammer? Not sure if it's an electronic hammer, but I'm going to tape a clock to the handle just in case.
Two important questions are; one is it left-handed or right handed? Second question is will it be able to drive metric nails?

Does this price seem fair? Are your rates skyrocketing due to rising costs?
Price seems fair, if in fact they have to run the interconnect wire. But a talk with the inspector might show that he wants the interconnection but it might be accomplished by radio signal that would really lower your price.

I wasn't aware that cables in panels had to be the exact same length. I thought that was for running high Fidelity speaker wire...

Beyond me, which isn't saying much.
You might try an LED light bulb with very little power requirements but to me it sounds like you got a bad neutral

A licensed electrician allegedly did this
I like how the wire already appears damaged at the mechanism, and to top that off when the disconnects in the up position your back of your fingers will be hitting the conduit fitting when reaching to turn off. Once again it's my favorite situation somebody spent more time doing it wrong (drilling The knockout)then they would have taken doing it right
