When All You Have is a Hammer…
Yeah, I’m sure you know the saying — “When all you have is a hammer,
everything looks like a nail.” And I’d imagine you probably chuckled,
just a little anyway. A friend of mine gave his small boy a hammer for
his birthday. And the kid beat on everything, all day long, when Tommy
was at work… including the gas meter in the yard.

Guess What? Fuses Still Matter
Up until three years ago, I lived with a couple small boxes of spare
fuses that sat on top of the water heater in the basement, ready to be
drawn from should the rare combination of, say, the toaster and
microwave operating at the same time happen to shut down power to the
kitchen.

Braving the Elements: A Guide to Weatherproof Boxes
I'm working on upgrading the electrical outlets around the outside of
our house. In addition to adding more receptacles around the perimeter,
I'm finally getting around to "electrifying" the shed and lean-to in the
backyard.

Making the Right Connections in Outside Lighting Jobs
Solar-powered exterior lighting has certainly gotten more popular over
the last decade or so, given how inexpensive the fixtures are and how
easy it is to install. But there remains a strong market for the
hardwired variety in shady areas, where more powerful light is required
and when you want to be sure the light works when you need it, even
after a cloudy day.

Downlights Go on a Diet with LED Technology
The beauty of recessed can downlights is their seeming sleekness. They
barely interrupt the ceiling plane, which can be an especially big bonus
in homes with lower ceiling heights and in clean-lined contemporary
room plans.
