Insights from the yesteryear at Shelter Institute

Learn to be confident about wiring through a complete understanding of ELECTRICITY! This workshop teaches how to wire or re-wire your home. We first describe what electricity is and how to control it in simple, non-technical language. Next we discuss the National Electrical Code, with focus on the major affects of the code on residential wiring, how to wire a house that conforms to the code and how to interpret the code. This is followed by a discussion of how electricity actually ends up in the house. Finally, we break into small groups to practice wiring sample panels, switches and lights. Suggested text: Wiring Simplified (Richter, Schwan, Hartwell), available at Shelter Institute for a 10% discount to students.
Since 1974, Shelter Institute has crafted hundreds of timber frames while teaching thousands of students sustainable building practices. From courses and quality tools to custom design-build services, we help you think, build, and live well.
