The test instruments used may vary some depending on your level of vision, if any and your experience with electrical wiring systems of a house. The talking multimeter that is available through a couple of places in Canada is probably the best to use. If you have a fair amount of experience and know house wiring I have written a method of identifying hot, neutral and equipment wires using the voltmeter functions and ohmmeter of such a meter. I'll beglad to email it direct as an attachment, which the list doesn't permit. Let me know.

Hello there. I wanted to briefly introduce myself. My name is Blaine and I live up in Regina Saskatchewan Canada. I took four years of construction in high school building folding tables to sheds. I love fixing things and would love to learn about accessible and safe methods if it is something that I haven't done before. The place that I'm moving into has a garage and once her stuff is unpacked I'm hoping to have a little area that I can build stuff and if I have to go outside to plane something then that's fine. I love working with oak the best but cherry wood is also good too. I do now have a question. Is there something out there that can be used to identify the colours of wireing when putting electrical outlets or wiring something into your house?
