    No, but I can tell you that anyone who spells "you" "u" shouldn't be allowed to do stuff like that. My advice is to hire a trained electrician....or even a better idea for you, stop using electricity all together. "Candle Light: The wave of the past."

    Hire a goddamn electrician that actually knows what he is doing. It is very dangerous for someone like you to be messing with electricity and wiring.

    My dad's an electrician, but I don't feel like approaching him about it. BTW, keep stuff this random off UCP.

    No he'll look like an idiot for trusting someone he doesn't know to tell him what he should do with wires over the internet. I say go for it, and watch the news carefully!

    Thats what you get when you mess around with something you don't know about. Did you even shut off the electricty when putting the wires back on the switch?
