Until it is something about electricity or, even worse, gas.
- stephenr 5y agoElectricity isn't magic, and while it can be dangerous, so can lots of other things we use/do all the time, and people manage to learn to use/do those things. I don't know what it's like in Italy, but here, it's arguably more dangerous to call an "electrician" because everything is "mai pen rai" (don't worry about it), including things you personally might actually worry about like, you know, having outdoor power sockets in a waterproof box, or sealing the underground conduit, or connecting an earth, or not just twisting wires together and taping them up, or turning off the breaker before connecting things to existing circuits. (Literally all things I've had to fix because "a professional" did it). Besides the wiring from the meter to the breaker boxes (yes boxes, plural, because $reasons), and the wiring to the A/C units, there isn't much in this house where I haven't had to change/fix some aspect of the wiring. Occasionally just to do something different, but almost always that inevitably ends up involving a fix for whatever retarded thing the previous "professional" did.
