be sure to use a ground faul (GFCI)receptical they can be installed by anyone and they are no harder than installing a regular receptical. It just insures that if any moisture is present at the receptical, or there is a short it will trip the little trip fuse you then find the problem and reset the fuse. i use one that has a little light that comes on if it has been triped. The ones I use are from cooper it is a ShockSentry GFCI.
