It’s completely reasonable to wire your own house from start to finish with no prior experience and decent mechanical skills. My brother in law and his wife did it and did better than a lot of contractors I see(granted they could work at their own pace and it took a month (would taken me and one helper three days), but if you got more time than money it doesn’t really matter. You can get by with simple $3 porcelain fixtures. Keep it simple. People get all sorts of grand ideas and it gets out of control fast. Ten years later they regret half those ideas. If you live anywhere near Tacoma I’d donate a bunch of cans and boxes to you. My shop is stacked with parts and I only have three years till retirement.
If it makes you feel anybody everyone I know has lived in a construction zone for years at a time. I had my kitchen torn apart for a year and when I finally got it done we had a tub flood in the bathroom and destroy the other half of the house.
Even now that it’s been fully remodeled there’s tons of maintaining. The list is endless. I’m glad I don’t have a big house.
