At one point, many years ago, I didn't "understand enough about
electricity to do this, or any other wiring project, safely". However,
some very nice member's of this group (maybe even you) were patient
enough to answer my questions and teach me the right way to accomplish
my goals. Since the OP has already shown that he is willing to do the
work - and is still alive to tell us what he's tried so far - maybe we
should try and talk him through this. Some will agree and some will
not...and that's fine.

I understand, and agree with you -- up to a point. Perhaps you're unaware
of this *specific*
person's history in this group and at least one or two others I can think of. Attempting a
project that he's totally ignorant of, getting stuck, and *then* posting
requests for help is not
a one-time thing with "stryped", it's a long-established pattern. (Check
out his car repair
problems over the years, in rec.crafts.metalworking, and you'll see what I mean.)

Point taken!
