[Hidden-tech] Need a wiring person for small job

[Matthew Crocker]

A building owner can pull their own electrical permit and perform the  
work.  It still needs to be inspected by the municipal electrical  
inspector.

I licensed electrical contractor is not needed but highly  
recommended.  You could burn your house down or get yourself killed  
if you don't know what you are doing.

Currently there is no requirement for licensing/permitting on low  
voltage work (telcom/datacom)
