I’ve finished renovating the inside of my two built in cupboards from 1909. Plastered the wall, put it nice wallpaper, cut to measure and replaced the shelves and hardware. Took me like three years to find the time but I’m there.
I’m leaning the science behind home electricity. I want to install an outlet in my bathroom for a bidet but I realized I didn’t understand when and where I needed a GFI outlet. So I’m learning via a handful of books
Similarly, I want to add another outlet in the basement for my cats’ automatic litter box.
I also just replaced my Nest doorbell with a “dumb” doorbell but the chime won’t work. So I need to do some research on how the chimes work…
Which books do you use? I’ve been wanting to get better at understanding home electricity but I’ll admit electricity scares me a bit
Black and Decker makes a series of books that are pretty good, I’ve been enjoying them so far. Black & Decker The Complete Guide to Wiring
I’ve also found various books from thrift shops to supplement as well as various resources from the internet
Is that book north America focused? In in the Netherlands so i expect things will be a bit different
Yes, I’m afraid so. Some of the concepts will still apply but it’s most likely wiser to get a EU-specifc or country-specific book if you can find one
