Switches and outlets are so obscenely easy that I am ashamed at having spent money to replace switches when I first bought Fugee Manor.
1. Buy the little tester thing at Home Depot to make sure you have wired the outlet right, including the grounding. It costs about $4.
2. If your circuit box is properly grounded and you have metal outlet boxes, you don't need to add green wires to ground your outlets (if, for example your house, like the Manor, was built before grounded outlets were used). Screwing the outlet into the box will ground it. I learned that after doing about half the outlets and fighting to attach the green wire to the box.
2. If more than one black wire comes into the outlet box, you need to break this little tab on the outlet or you will have too much power and blow circuits. This little fact is not in the Home Depot books or the other wiring book I bought. It was learned the hard way.
