John,
"NO, Thank YOU!" just kidding. I think that NJ might be one of the most govern states as for licensing of people, is it worth it? Yes and no. It depends on who you talk to. I think our state tries real hard to get "qualified" people to do electrical work in our state, but you still see things slip through the crack. Have you ever called the State Board of Electrical Examiners to try and turn someone in? Sometimes they can't be bothered. However have a Lic. Elec. Cont. screw up and they will go after their Lic. "Tooth and Nail.". They will make a big deal about it. BTW. I did get your package in the mail and Thank You very much. I will read it (Without looking at the answers.) and see if I can figure it all out.
