isnt it???

I dotn know ANYTHING about your electrical systems... ours is 240 volts with up to 15 amps... a good charge of this will easily KILL you.... thats why I reared back in horror when all this advice started flowing and then contradicting and then.. and then...

We have a VERY healthy aversion to any wires and ONLY licensed tradespeople can touch any of it.... (cept my father who is still alive today...god knows how....... but thanks to him anyway (god that is)....)  :police:

You worry too much.I used to think I'd like to live in the land of Oz but the more I read about how the guv controls your lives I'm not too sure. When are they going to outlaw you building buggies?

I really ought to add that Artie has a good point. But on the other hand I think we have all learned to do a lot of equally dangerous stuff and not given it a second thought.I also need to add that if a person does not know how to check if a circuit is live or dead then that person  should stay away from doing their own electrical.

Very low voltage suddenly runs to fairly high voltage..... damn that hurt...  :P
