It's perfectly legal in most of the US to do your own electrical work. I've done bunches of it, including sub-panels (I don't think I'd mess with the entrance). The electrical inspector that signed off on my garage said he finds better work from home owners than from the licensed electricians. The home owner spends more time making things just so. OTOH, I've seen some real messes, like a friend's house that was wired with zip-cord and outlets with no boxes (found one of those in my current house - done by a pro, btw). Most of the municipalities where it isn't legal for a home owner to do his own work are where union thugs have completely taken over. > Do you know what happens if bad installation > practice has been used and the house is sold to a new buyer and the new > buyer is electrocuted? Who winds up with the blame? It's no different than if a licensed electrician does it. The blame finger points the same direction: everywhere. ;-) BTW, in most places all work must be inspected. Yeah, right. -- Keith
