More on the electrical outlets

Here is a link to how I replaced all the outlets in the front of the house. It's really as simple as turning off the breaker, pulling the old one out and installing the new one with a grounding wire to the metal box. It's worth noting that if it's a home that's super old (like ours) that you should check every socket with a lamp before you work on it. Don't assume that because the breaker turned off one side of a room it turned off BOTH sides of the room. I almost found that out the hard way. Not cool.
