These picture's are what is
being done as a simple electrical repair
this was done by a Bangor
Handyman Company
Thanks to LD 784
and it's sponsor's
Let's not worry about public safety !!!!!
Thanks to LD 784 no training or license required
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fortunately for the homeowner
when turning on the light switch the breaker
tripped...
but Handyman tried to reset it 3 more times
sparks and smoke !!!!!!!!!!
Then a Licensed Electrician was called to fix the
problem
this could have been tragic had the problem had not
been found.
Thanks again to LD 784 and it's sponsors
