My parents are big no-no's with electricity, they cannot change a fuse or wire a plug without scaring themselves to death with thoughts of electrocution. My parents said the socket was 'too dangerous' to change and told me to run an extension cord from other functioning sockets. I want to be an electrician when I grow up, but my parents are unhappy because they said I would get killed sooner or later. I figured I'd join because reading about experiences of veteran electricians on the field are much more helpful than watching PoCo wokemen service the big transformer near my house. Hope you don't chase me out because of my age and I can't do anything much (except wire up low voltage stuff)! Even with my (very) limited scope of electrical knowledge, I can pretty much see unsafe electrical installations everywhere. Regarding the location, I'm from Singapore.
