Hello,

No formal certification here, just grew up watching my Dad and Grandfather do things on their own and learned a little in schools and most from doing and searching.

I'm the typical "jack of all trades, master of none" and I know enough to get myself into trouble by getting in over my head sometimes..

Mostly I stick to simple things, switching overhead lights around (wife likes to change her mind), adding or removing ceiling fans, fixing outlets, replacing outlets, usual homeowner stuff I guess. Ii also have a couple of old cars, so i've switch from incandescent to HID lights, installed relays, electric fuel pumps, and ignition systems, etc, nothing major like a scratch designed harness, but more than some people know i guess..
 
Welcome , If you do Auto electrics .. you hopefully know about fuses and wire gauges !
( my mate get's me cos hes has the odd fire ! )
..But then what 10yr old has not played with thin wire and a car battery .

in a gargage setting .. Check for oily rags / tissue wipes first .
...Boys are different we love Dangerous -- Practicals !
