That 3 way switch in my own basement took me 4 hours to figure out because someone used 14/3 instead of 12/2 on the travelers.
Had to tear apart the whole gang box and map every wire with a continuity tester before I realized the previous guy just grabbed whatever scrap he had lying around, has anyone else run into weird wire gauges in old houses?

The 14/3 is always a fun surprise in a 12/2 world...

Is it really that big of a deal though? Seems like something you just swap out and move on. Doesn't that happen all the time in older houses?
