Customer Reviews

Just what I wanted!

The photos make understanding directions so much easier. The drawings are in color and very clear. The technical stuff is explained clearly. Making this one of the best How To Books you can find. Helpful Hints are included for example: about what kind of ceiling fan is the best to install, these hints are invaluable.When I went to the building inspector he was very impressed with what I had learned from this book,(he thought I was an electrician!).

Fear no Fire

Five stars should be saved for fiction which moves you.. and a four star cap for non-fiction. So the casual reader of reviews knows where I stand on this 'how-to' book..I loved it, used it and reccomend it. The first page breaks the ice..."If you do it wrong..it won't catch on fire, it just won't light up".. It was all I needed to read.. Armed with this book I've rewired my house. The Electrical inspector said the quality of work exceeded that of a professional. I of course was just following the advice of "ORTHO'S ALL ABOUT WIRING BASICS". The wiring diagrams are excellent, the text clear. Should you hesitate taking advice about electricity from a name known for gardening, please let this review be your guid and give it a try.
