Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Jarom Nelson on Facebook asks Hey Gary, you seem like a guy that would prefer to fix your own electrical problems around the house. Any success or epic fail home improvement stories? Jarom from Livermore, DOE National Labs completionist club.

Actually, I wouldn’t screw around with the wiring where I live. First of all, I rent, so I’d have the building do it. Second, I know just enough to be dangerous, which is the worst sort of knowledge to have. I think knowing your limitations is important. Could I figure out how to properly fix my own electrical issues? Probably. But I haven’t, and I wouldn’t want to take the risk when I can hire someone who has experience and expertise.
