"How many HEXUS.community members does it take to change a light switch?"

It doesn't matter how many are involved...

...StormPC will still say they've done it wrong, and dimmer switches are a stupid idea anyway!

It's an easy job ... BUT ... it is now illegal to do jobs like this around the home unless you are a qualified electrician. No, seriously, it is. The law recently changed.

I don't know how the hell they're going to enforce the stupid law.

Who thinks these things up? The implication is that anyone who doesn't sign up cannot possibly be competent!
This isn't so much the Nanny State as the Senile Granny State.
