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.
