Get hands-on with outlet installation and a switch/fixture/fan demo.About this EventThis workshop is an in-depth, hands-on introduction to residential electricity for anyone who wants to understand what's happening behind the walls of a house and inside a breaker box. No experience necessary. The first portion of the workshop will cover:Fundamentals of hot, neutral, and ground wiresHow circuits completeHow a breaker box works, breaker box sizes, and how to replace themCable assembliesTypical home outlet and switch typeNext you'll get hands-on! Each participant will fish wire through an existing wall and install a new outlet from start to finish. After that, participants will take part in a demonstration (with some hands-on participation) installing a switch, light fixture, and ceiling fan.Safety is treated as a prerequisite skill, not an afterthought. Before any tools come out, we'll cover how to positively confirm a circuit is de-energized, lockout practices so a circuit doesn't get re-energized mid-work, and the potential hazards of poor electrical work. All hands-on wiring will be done under direct supervision with circuits confirmed dead before any contact.
