Consumer Critiques

I can not write a assessment for how a person who is a skilled electrician would look at this book I am a fairly decent handiman, but know rather tiny about electrical wiring. I personal a household that is in desperate require of electrical updating - the existing wiring dates back to the 1920s. After having an electrician appraise the job at $7500, I thought I'd look into seeing how a lot of it I could do myself, and so in order to understand about what I can and what I can't do, I decided to order this book and educate myself.
I did not want a book that had a couple of tiny tricks right here and there. I wanted a book that sat me down and explained all the way from the starting just what electrical wiring is all about. I didn't want a specialist electrician's manual, either.
And so, to those ends, this book is definitely on target! I have already learned a huge quantity of stuff in just the 1st two chapters, which I'll almost certainly have to go back and re-read simply because there is just so considerably there. But it is presented so nicely, and even though it talks about extremely simple stuff, it does not treat the reader like a dummy.
The color photographs and diagrams are amazing, as well.
Immediately after the initial sections that take up about 1/3 to 1/two of the book, then it gets into particular tasks, such as pulling electrical cable, how to do wiring diagrams, step-by-step instructions for wiring boxes, wall sockets, light switches, etc. It even gets into some advanced stuff at the finish.
So far I'm rather well pleased with this book. If I can get a lot of this function accomplished - such as pulling the cables through the house - I will be in a position to then get the expert electrician to come in to finish off the job with the actual tough and tricky stuff. I hope that this will end up saving me thousands of dollars. Rather sweet!

Superb book, particularly for an individual with minimal experience in electrical projects. The set of wiring diagrams showing many doable kinds of projects is the best part. Easy to follow.
