[QUOTE="tyromeo55, post: 3615019, member: 1719"] [USER=39982]@Timmy59[/USER] My disclaimer.... I always recommend hiring a licensed electrician. What you do on your own you do assuming any and all liability. Im providing information for academic purposes. Someone who would take on a project like this should have an idea of what you are doing, know and abide by safe practices and know how to test your installation prior to putting it into service.
