Focus on quality and safety

In "Safe Home Wiring Projects," Rex Cauldwell focuses on two things: quality and safety. He shows you how to choose quality receptacles, light fixtures, tools, and other equipment. He also shows you how to do safe, high-quality wiring. While most of us are tempted to buy the cheapest equipment that will get the job done, or buy light fixtures based on looks only, Rex Cauldwell provides good reasons to consider other criteria. The book is well-written and very easy to understand, and the illustrations are numerous and clear. This book is best for those looking for an introductory text -- it covers mostly basic projects, and doesn't cover anything that would involve opening the main panel.When it comes to electrical wiring, you can't afford to skimp on quality or safety. Armed with the knowledge in this book, a homeowner can do home wiring confidently, and rest easy with the knowledge that the job was done correctly.

Good writing, illustration for average do-it-yourselfer.

This book combined a simple, easy-to-understand text with deatailed pictures. Although at some times the illustrations were hard to understand, they still get their point accross and do it very effectively.
