About this workshop
About the Electrical 101 workshop:
This workshop will teach attendees how to identify the elements of a breaker panel and different types of electrical wiring in a typical Cincinnati home. After watching a demonstration of an outlet replacement and learning about the fundamentals of a few basic, common electrical circuits found in a home, attendees will get hands on practice safely replacing switches and outlets while adhering to best practices and the national electric code.
Lead Poisoning Hazard Disclaimer: All home renovation work can create a significant lead hazard if completed in a pre-1978 home. DIYD will provide Lead Poisoning Prevention resources to any workshop attendee living in a pre-1978 home. DIYD also hosts a lead safety class twice a year - we highly recommend that you sign up for the lead safety class before you complete these projects in your home if your home was built before 1978 and you have young children living in your home.
