Hi. I'm just saying hi. I'm here because I am in the process of learning about all things electrical, in the course of working on my house. I'm hoping I can ask for advice here and learn from experienced sparkies!

Hi everyone.

Hi everybody,

Hi all,
Just posting to quickly introduce myself as well as to ask a few questions.
To quickly summarise I am in the Army and by trade I am an electrician. Just assuming nobody here has much knowledge of how the army actually use us trade wise, they don't. Unless your on a construction tour you...
