The idea of working on electrical projects may give you some minor feeling of panic, but many typical household dilemmas are simple to repair as long as you obey the rules of currents and always follow safety guidelines. Every person in your household who is old enough should know how to turn off and restore your home’s power supply in case of power failure or to make electrical repairs. It will seem obvious to state that you should never work on anything electrical that is conductive, or live, without first disabling it, but let’s face it, even the best of us get lazy once in awhile.
Few people realize that it is necessary to disable the power supply before you drill into ceilings or walls—you may hit a wire without knowing it, so shut off power at your circuit box before you drill. Keep a flashlight near your breaker box so you can see what you’re doing. Older homes tend to have fuse boxes, while newer or refurbished ones have circuit breakers, but they serve the same function. If you have a fuse box, keep the appropriate fuses on hand and never use fuses that are too powerful for your fuse box. The amp ratings should be clearly marked inside the box door.

The Arkansas River flows southeast across the state between the Ozark plateau and the Ouachita Mountains and runs down to the southern and eastern plains to empty into the Mississippi River. The other rivers of the state also flow generally SE or S to the Mississippi; these include the Saint Francis (which forms part of the E Missouri line), the White River, the Ouachita, and the Red River (which forms part of the Texas line). The state's transportation network is based on rivers as well as roads, railroads, and air travel. The 440 mi (708 km) Arkansas River Navigation System links Oklahoma and Arkansas to the Mississippi River.
