Edit: I was not expecting a sticky and such an outpouring of support. I've decided to try and find an electrician after much suggestion. Thank you for the love and support. You guys are awesome!
Weird question.
My fusebox is in my basement, where I've pretty much stocked up for Armageddon. I'm wary of letting an electrician into my home to install fuses and switches for my power generator so I'm thinking about doing the install myself.
I was wondering if anyone might be able to assist or provide a step by step with my set up?
Thank you
It’s dangerous to attempt this if you don’t have a working knowledge of electricity, basically a shock, or electrocution issue, also a fire hazard if shorting or using the wrong gauge wiring. I’d personally hire an electrician an stay with him. Cover things in your basement with sheets that you don’t want him to see.
A bigger issue in addition to electrocution or fire is that insurance will screw you over for any DIY that may cause a fire.
This right here... just cover everything up with sheets.
He should get it professionally done. Either move and/or cover the rations. I know it’s inconvenient, but for a variety of reasons he shouldn’t be messing around with the electrical box.
