A few months ago we had an electrician wire up our kitchen during our kitchen remodel. We had a 4 way switch set up (this is where you have a minimum of 3 switches that operate one light). He screwed up the wiring, and was unavailable to fix it at the time. I got online and found out how to wire 4-way switches. What it is is Double Pole Double Throw switches arranged in a particular way. I've known what DPDT switches are since I was 12 thanks for model railroading. (I've also become a mechanical engineer between age 12 and now (30), and I bet model railroading played a small subliminal part in my interest in engineering and design). Another side benefit is if you do lots of work around the house, you are fully entitled (and encouraged) to get great tools that you could later use on your model railroad! Through our remodel over this past year, I've acquired: Table Saw Cordless Drill Sabre Saw Nail Gun Lots of hand tools (socket sets, etc.) All sorts of paintbrushes, etc. There are others, but I forget what they are. The majority of these tools double as model railroading tools! Heh heh....
