Ya.. except with no walls protecting the wiring, no inspection of the wiring and no real way out if it catches on fire.

For Halloween, my wife dressed my (6 month old) son up as a fox, so I made something for him to ride in:

It's mounted on caster wheels, so it can roll.  I also made a handle that attaches in the back so I could push him down the street/sidewalk.

That's right, I dressed my son as Rommel for his first Halloween!

When that tank blows up in flames (like the real Sherman) thanks to the wood construction, spray paint and cheap electrical wiring, I hope FunkedUp makes a 'Christianity is Peace!' thread with a picture.

Personally id like to see how wood will set on fire because of electrical malfunction. It just doesent happen, unless theres theres high voltages involved. Theres also these little things called fuses, which cut the current if it gets grounded.

Personally id recommend malfunction-current-switch (im not sure how its spelled in US) for any outside or garage outputs. They cost some 15$ but are well worth of their protection.

Just ground the metal parts, use cable instead of some cheap bellybutton wires and theres nothing to worry about.
