Slim I see a picture of you holding an automatic rifle. They don't hand those out to people who don't know how to use them. If you can clean that gun, you can wire a dimmer switch. These are not skills that were hard to come by. If you have the desire you can obtain the skills. I am surprised how little credit we give others. So are you sticking by the statement that you are incapable of wiring a dimmer switch? If you had to wire one up tonight or your snake would die you are telling me your snake would be dead in the morning? You don't think you could look up the info you need on the computer you are reading this post on and figure it out. Electricity can be dangerous when not respected. I learned how to wire up simple switches and light bulbs in middle school shop class along with a whole lot of people that later went on to prove they are not all that bright.
