Hello

I really hope that someone is going to have an idea what I should do here.
When installing the single pole-push on/off dimmer I was having difficulties and called a "friend" who apparently knew few things about home electricity. He hooked it up and it worked fine, after I realized later that my power outlets in the room are all dead. At that time I didn't really care about the outlets. But few weeks ago I installed my Air Conditioner and realized that I actually need the power to run the AC. I called my friend few times to come over to fix this, but he apparently has no time... blah blah blah.. However, I'm here on my own, and with your help I should be able to get this right. I have a voltage tester and enough tools. The question is: How to get the power outlets running and keeping the dimmer in the room. Here is the picture. All input is appreciated since we're expecting a quite hot weather next week. Thanks in Advance.

A and B are your neutrals and those are fine.
I assume that E, F and G are the leads to the dimmer switch, those are fine.

C is the hot coming to the box.
D does not appear to be connected to anything. That is most likely the hot to the outlet. Connect D to C and G.

Problem fixed!!

I looked up a diagram and it turned out that C D and G needed to get hooked up under one cap. Everything works and my butt is going to get a cool down this summer.
