I am not an electrician, but I am an IET member and I have degrees in
electronics and electrical engineering and I still can't legally wire
anything up much more than a plug. Won't be long before you need a
license to do that too. Then changing a light bulb.
But is' OK, we will run out of electricity soon anyway and we will be
back to steam power and candles. ;)
