In western Kansas we do not have Lowes or Home Depot. You have to drive at least 200 miles to find one. (Wait a minute, western Kansas driving 200 miles to find anything is normal.)
lol ;-)
Any way, here in the west, most city code adoptions do not allow home owners to work on any of the service equipment. And even some towns require on new construction if the basement is not finished the electrical wiring down stairs still must follow the 12 foot rule with receptacles and have lights and switches installed before the house can pass final inspection. As far as the stores they should be used to get parts not training. Electrical wholesellers around here have been hit by contractors not to train over-the-counter.
