Simple Wiring Projects for Home Repairs: Electrical Tips and Ideas

Welcome to my blog. My name is Connie, and a few years ago, I had water leaking through my roof. It got all muddled with the electrics, and one of my fixtures stopped working. After I got the roof repaired and let the electrics dry out, I managed to rewire the fixture myself. It felt like quite the triumph as I have never wired anything before.
