Ok, thank you all for your response, I will not do it this way then.
I agree, there is a chance over the years, that somehow accidently, a
person may forget to turn of the main switch.

I have seen something similar to what you guys are talking about in my
brother-in-laws house. So what exactly do I need to buy, and is this
something I could install myself? I am pretty proficient in wiring,
just curious if it's possible to do it yourself, and what EXACTLY I
need to buy.


It is a power transfer switch. Any electrical supply will know what it
is when you tell them what it is for. Note, there may be some local codes
that apply in addition to the ones we know of.
