Product Review
The primary intimidating factor in working with electricity (and the thing that frightens many people away from even trying to do home wiring projects) is, obviously, the fact that it can be dangerous--even deadly--if not done properly and if appropriate safety precautions are not taken. Rex Cauldwell has put together one of the most comprehensive, basic, step-by-step guides on the subject. It is clearly organized, well referenced, and includes everything you need to know to do home wiring projects safely and correctly the first time.
From Library Journal
Electricity is a mysterious (and somewhat scary) subject for most people, even those who complete many of their own repairs. Not so for Cauldwell, a master electrician with over twenty years' experience, who shows how the average do-it-yourselfer can safely perform many tasks usually reserved for electricians. He starts by explaining basic electrical principles and shows which tools to use. A section on inspecting your home's electrical system is particularly helpful, describing various hazards and pitfalls. Other sections cover repairing wiring switches and receptacles and installing light fixtures, ceiling and bathroom fans, and home entertainment systems. Profusely illustrated, safety-oriented, and including sections on troubleshooting and a glossary, this is an great title for beginners. Recommended for all public libraries.?Jonathan N.

Reader ReviewsThis book combined a simple, easy-to-understand text with deatailed pictures. Although at some times the illustrations were hard to understand, they still get their point accross and do it very effectively.
