Thanks Marc - I basically knew that the process was fairly simple. But - having never done anything like this in my life, I just want to make sure there isn't something I'm missing. Even if something seems simple - if one is completely inexperienced, it's worthwhile to try to gather as much info as possible about the process. Especially concerning something that can be as hazardous as electricity - I mean, I have two green, left thumbs when itcomes to all of this. There could be some important things that one should know to avoid - some crucial tips.
Thanks once again for your generosity in pointing me in the right direction, Marc - apparently the "experts" you reference don't consider me worth their time.
