another electrical help thread!!!

just to give you an idea. i am a navy tained aircraft electrician. I dont know shit bout the electricity, but i was good. All you need i the "pubs", that means reference books. You ever checked one out. They explain tis shit step by step, i have seen them in hd isles. Manuals on how to get power. I apologise if I make no sense, but i just skipped to see where your at as I was once an electrician

Thats pretty crazy!!! I always thought they took electricians and made them electricians, they'll take somone with no electrical knowledge and do that?!?!
Yea I'm going to have to go to home depot and pick one up!
electricityjust scares me!!!
and all the online manuals say somthing along the line of "you can and will die if you try to do this!!! so don't do it!"

In my area I could have an electrician install a new 20 space service panel and hook all of those existing circuits in it for around $250.00. What you have is a 8 space service panel with 9 circuits in it. Your meter will have a seperate shutoff. Yes, you do need the book. VV

would they have to knock anything down or rip anything up? I'm all for paying somone to do this for me!!

Not really, they would get everything set to remove the old panel and install a new one. Visit one of the big box stores and look at one. They would also have the tools to install a few new plugs without making a big mess. I would imagine they could give you a firm estimate. The work will take a few hours and you will like it much better. VV
