No doubt you'd love to save some money by doing your own electrical home improvement projects around the house. It can be quite expensive to hire an electrician, so many people decide that they are going to do the electrical work themselves.
When it comes to major electrical and wiring projects, you should leave them to the professionals; however, there are some things that you can do on your own. Even though they are minor things, there is still a bit of danger, so you need to be careful.
Usually the main risk of doing electrical projects yourself is electrical shock. However, electrical fires can also get started if you are not careful and you don't take needed precautions to keep yourself and your home protected.
So, if you're going to work around wiring,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], here are a few practical tips that will help you to stay safe.
First of all,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's important that you shut off the power in the area you are planning on working in. Don't just turn off the switch, but make sure that you cut the power off at the fuse or circuit box.
Make sure that you alert others in the house to what you're planning, and make sure that you keep small children away while you're working. Usually it's a good idea to tape down the switch as well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in case someone accidentally turns it back on because they are not aware of what you are doing.
As you start work, continue to treat the area as if it were still connected. Be careful and don't rush. Choose a time to work when you won't be disturbed. Any errors can be deadly, so you want to be slow and methodical.
You'll want to use a fiberglass ladder, since it will not conduct the electricity. This way the ladder can absorb any electric shock that may occur. Make sure that you have rubber soled shoes on as well, which will help to absorb the electrical shock if one happens.
A power tester can come in handy for testing the wires you are going to work on. Be sure that there is no power in the wires before you start working on them. You could have turned off the wrong wire, so check before you begin to work.
Avoid working in areas that are wet or damp. Water and electricity don't go well together. Make sure that you dry the area before you perform your project, and make sure that you dry even nearby damp areas as well.
It's important that you know what you are doing. If you tape the wrong electrical wires together, you can end up with a fire once you turn the electricity on again. Make sure that you get it right to avoid a disaster.
You can definitely save some money doing a few minor electrical tasks around your home,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but be sure to take them seriously. If you think it's going to be more than you can handle, make sure you call a professional and avoid risking your home or even your life.
The manageress and a guy behind a till were the only people in the shop and I made my way to the walk-in beer fridge at the back. Over the months they had got to know me well and no doubt had their own thoughts about me. But I was probably one of their best customers so they always treated me politely. They could not have failed to notice the huge amounts of booze that I was buying.As I made my way to the beer fridge the shop assistant appeared out of nowhere and greeted me. "Sawubona," he said. He seemed to stare right into my very soul. I wondered what was he thinking. He sometimes helped me to the car and today would be no different. No doubt I was a shock to him as well. Maybe I was too paranoid. Sure I was gaunt, filthy and sickly-looking but then maybe there were plenty of people like me coming in and out of the bottle store every day. Maybe all that intrigued them was where the money was coming from. That must be a mystery as I looked like a typical down and out. Bugger it. Let them ponder.
The cold beer fridge revived me a little and I always stayed a couple of minutes longer than necessary. I found my beer and asked the assistant to help me carry the case to the till. There I fumbled for the money and handed it over to the guy. He remained silent and passed me the change which I gave to the assistant. He mumbled a quiet "Siyabonga,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," and carried the case to the car.I felt that I had no choice any more. The liquor consumed all my mental and physical energy. The people who came and went in my life saw me as a babbling wreck. I comforted myself with the thought that they should see me when I was deprived of my beers.I stopped at the fridge long enough to sink a cold one and then walked into the office. My entrance went unnoticed and only Mary looked up and asked how I was feeling. Plonking myself down,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I couldn't fail to notice that it had turned into a lovely day.
