I did a switch. I was skeered (even though I had switched off the power to that room), but it wasn't hard.

We actually have several things that need to be done and were gonna hire someone, but I want this done this weekend. There are lights out the outside of the garage on front and back, but they were never connected (I don't get it). Plus we need some new outlets installed in the garage and the foyer.

Idjit owners before us built the deck and covered up the outdoor outlet. I either need to cut a hole in the deck or have it rewired somewhere else.

I can handle a light or a switch. Beyond that, I just don't trust my skills/experience.

If you've done a light, you can do a switch or outlet. Just use a circuit tester/voltage probe like this (about $5) to make sure the power is off.
