3 man and 1 woman were talking about this on CNN the other day...just
the Top 10.

Use a torque wrench - None of them had any idea what a torque
wrench was.
Fix a dead outlet - One guy commented - "Oh yeah...a great way to
burn the house down!"


Electrical work is being mystified and mythified out of the realm of home
owners. Yes, you can burn your house down with an electrical fire. That
doesn't mean you have to live with a bad switch (more of a fire hazard)
that you don't want to pay an electrician $50 to come out and replace.
(This is the way it usually happens.)

People are scared because of all the fools out there that don't take the
time to learn how something's supposed to be done and plan it all out.
