I simply claim to be an engineer. That covers a lot of ground - including electrical engineering.

I never said that it is easy to wire a house in a code compliant manner. I never said it was safe.

I simply said that having an electrictian do the wiring is not cost effective to the homeowner.

I am sure that $100/hr is a fair rate for an electrictian. That is cost effective for a business, but not a homeowner.

Would you pay a painter $100/hr to paint your house? Or pay a plumber $100/hr to replace a fixture?

I don't think so. You don't view it as cost effective.

I am just an engineer. I don't do work for homeowners. Because of my billing structure, it is not cost effective for the homeowner.

A lot of work is not cost effective for one side or the other.
