Attempting a DIY project

[ClockworkOrange]

Good on you for attempting something like this, it will be an amazing sense of achievement once you have finished, you must post when it is all done.

If we don't hear from you, will assume you touched the wrong wire!

New screws should have come with the new switchplates, no?

DH has been teaching me how to wire a house. A few weeks ago I did my first breaker panel! Anyway - just replacing the switches isn't too bad. If you are like me and have enough electricity in your body to set off the stupid tester all the time (seriously, I'll hold it waaaaay at the end and it STILL goes off - almost buzzed myself thinking a light was off and it was just me setting the tester off - DH double checked and no... it was not off).

Don't feel bad if you turn off the main just to be safe. I do.
