You're right, I'm not a tradesman. I want to do my own work for several reasons. Learn more about electrical wiring practices, save money and for fun. All my work will be inspected. I am not a novice with electrical wiring and know that I can produce safe wiring. It's just that sometimes safe and "by the book" are a little different. Inspectors are obligated to go "by the book" and I cannot make myself ask them to deviate from the book. I intend to tell the inspector that I did my own work, and would he/she examine it closely.
