Check with your local building code/permit folks. But in general, low voltage wiring (POTS, alarm systems, ethernet) can be done by the homeowner. In my county, the homeowner can even do their own 120v AC work, after a class and passing a test. You still have to get any main-power work inspected, but you can do that work yourself. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
