Product Description

From the Author
Book's home page http://www.kylz.com/lytha/rex/ntindex.html
For those who want to see some examples of what is in my book (both text and art), you can go to my home page listed above. I am a practicing master electrician...not a desk jockey. This is the way I wire a house. My book is easy to read and written for both the novice and the professional alike. For example, I've included not only how to wire a GFCI into a circuit but how you can be plugged into one and still be electrocuted. I've filled the book with service calls and stories of many years of work...and included things I've done wrong as well as right. I've gotten many phone calls from people all over the states who called just to thank me for writing this book. One fan called just to say me he has read it cover-to-cover twice because he found it so interesting. It's required reading for anyone wanting to know what wiring works and what doesn't. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for american house wiring only, 30 Mar 2002
I am a UK electrician and partime lecturer, who trains electricians, Some students recently bought electrical books using the Internet, not knowing they were for use house wiring, and as a result totally unsuitable for use in the U.K. This book is proably excellent if you are planning to wire houses in the U.S.A., But NOT if you plan to wire houses in the UK.

1.0 out of 5 stars US Wiring, 20 April 2006

(REAL NAME)   
I am sure this is a great book if you live in the US. In the UK with our own regulations, voltages, fittings colour, coding, fittings etc. using it as a guide could be positively dangerous.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep it close, you'll need it often,, 19 May 1997
By A Customer
Wiring a House_ is the only book I have found that tries to take you through the whole process of wiring a new house. Covering everything from ground rods to GFCIs, Rex Cauldwell has filled the book with valuable recommendations and logical methods that help avoid mistakes and produce quality results. Frequent references to electric code requirements helps you know you've done it right when the building inspector comes. Keep the book close by when working; I am always rediscovering something that saves me time, or the hassle of making a mistake. _Wiring a House_ is the single most valuable tool you can own for your house wiring project.
