So, I am wanting to exchange the hideous bathroom light fixture with a shiny new one. It seems like a simple job but I have never worked with electrical systems before in my life and I'm nervous about doing something dumb that gets me killed.:hide: I'm hoping to be able to do this myself because (a) we don't have a lot of free cash for an electrician and (b) I'd, well, just like to be able to do something of this nature myself for the satisfaction of it.
So, my question is two-fold:
1. Is installing a light fixture something a rank amateur should even try and if so,
2. What should I keep in mind so I don't end up crispy? Obviously I know to shut the breaker first and properly keep track of the hot, ground, and neutral wires (assuming I can tell them apart).
Thanks!
