Age 34 no kid’s career now is a Truck Driver would like to make a career change before I have them. Drove truck for 6 years. Always have the lover to become an Electrician. I have Basic Electrical & Electronics Knowledge. Just got stuck in the big trucks. Had to get a job 6 years ago that was it or be stuck at circuit city installing car stereo and alarms @ age 34. O yea stop driving the truck for about 6 moths in became a telephone installer. The company was sub contract for Bell Atlantic. That was where I learned all my fishing. That was going to stay there was the close up shop. So guess what I went back to the big truck. I like installing I do a lot of it on the side for friends and family. Ian not to trying to tell my life story here. Just won’t some other advice and who have did the same thing. Came from other jobs to become Electrician. Thank you. :D

Like some others on this thread - I too am going to wire a detatched garage at our summer cabin. While I understand this is a challenging DIY project - what kind of inspections should I expect. I have also noticed that some boards say that if I wire a structure myself and something happens, such as a fire, my insurance won't pay for replacement. Is that true - and short of hiring a contractor - which would take the fun out of DIY - is there anything I can do. Thanks -
