Just finished a DIY project!

I installed some brand new electrical outlets. I'm pretty proud of myself, because I know nothing about electricity. I used some common sense to figure it out though. It's really not that hard...just attach some wires to some screws.

There is smoke coming out of one of them, but just a little. I'm thinking that it is just the Home Depot price label burning off from the electricity, so I'm not going to worry about it.

I'm be more careful next time and make sure that I take the price tag off.

Tomorrow I install a new circuit breaker box!

And have the fire department on speed dial.

2. No worries, the smoke has mostly stopped.

It's just a pure flame now. It will be alright in a few minutes.

White (insulating cover) to bright (screw or connector)
Black to brass
Green to ground.

I have installed many sockets and switches in my old house. It has never failed.
