About this title

From the Author:

Book's home page http://www.kylz.com/lytha/rex/ntindex.html
For those who want to see some examples of what is in my book (both text and art), you can go to my home page listed above. I am a practicing master electrician...not a desk jockey. This is the way I wire a house. My book is easy to read and written for both the novice and the professional alike. For example, I've included not only how to wire a GFCI into a circuit but how you can be plugged into one and still be electrocuted. I've filled the book with service calls and stories of many years of work...and included things I've done wrong as well as right. I've gotten many phone calls from people all over the states who called just to thank me for writing this book. One fan called just to say me he has read it cover-to-cover twice because he found it so interesting. It's required reading for anyone wanting to know what wiring works and what doesn't.
