Electrical Switch Replacement
"Lights Out !?"
Anyway, Dad has come one more step closer to becoming a professional handyman by finishing his first electrical job. He already fixed one GFI plug and a garage door opener at Mom's house but it was for free. Next time, do it for someone else and make money so you can buy a new winter coat for each of us, please. I just found a good one from a Japanese dog boutiquie named "hackney".
Dad recently completed a very nice home improvement by replaceing old electrical switches with new ones. The DECORA type switch is so pretty that the house looks five years younger. He started it because one of the switch broke. Upon examining the broken switch, he found it was caused by a fat copper wire stuck into much smaller hole, consequently cracking the plastic sidewall of the switch. For safety reason, he decided to do all 32 switches throughout his house. During the process, he learned a lot about electrical wiring such as GFI and 3 way switch and so on.

Although his friend said people will not die of electric shock from a 110V outlet, dad had done this job with an extra precaution... just because it's electric !

Now, let's see what happens when you are not very careful by pointing your cursor onto the picture below.
