Re: Home Electrical Wiring, Experts Advice Please

Ryan,

I suggest that you still get either a licensed electrician or a home inspector to come verify that the work was done correctly.

You say that the former EE from Fusion was a "very bright" man, but that doesn't mean that he's knowledgeable about the requirements set out by building codes.

I have a colleague who is a very good jack-of-all-trades. He did the wiring in the room that was added on and still called a licensed electrician to sign off on the work.

And, as someone who is going to be putting new lights into the bathroom, rather than getting him to come do it, you'd better believe that I will have a licensed electrician come out. I'm even considering calling the home inspector that reviewed my place while it was in escrow just to verify everything.

Just something to think about,
