Thank you all! I have decided to take your sage advice. I have decided to follow it and install the wall receptacle. My husband has offered to do this for me, so I don't have to worry about it. This is really my hobby, not his, so I try not to bug him with "fish" issues, but this is a safety issue so of course he is concerned. It's funny, because when I told him what was needed, he got that "look" on his face (as I'm sure many MAAST members have seen on their spouses' faces) and asked, "and how much is that going to cost?" He breathed a sigh of relief when I told him it was less than $20. LOL. Usually, my answer is somewhere in the triple digits when he asks that question. ^_^
