Strannik said:got a question. a lot of people seem to be doing DIY electrical wiring
is it legal in USA?
in Australia you are supposed to have electrical license before you can do as much as pull the light switch off the wall to be able to paint around it...

We live rural and did all the wiring and plumbing for our entire farm, house, pool. The electric company came out to hook what we did to the main supply line - that's it.
In my area, I can pretty much do whatever wiring I wanna do, barring major additions & just plain stupidity & being reported as unsafe by my neighbors, but if I ever sell my home then the inspector can require me to make everything code before the sale can go through.
