I know how to use a voltmeter at least and have done some crude wiring/soldering at home - even replaced the rechargable battery in a garmin 520 once. High voltage scared me though. Had some additional outlets in the garage put in when we moved in - we paid the electrician to do that. Pretty simple conduit plumed from existing outlets. Not trying to shock myself though.
