  • That made me wonder, what exactly is the scope of this site when it comes to residential wiring? For example,
  • * Basic wiring of switches, lights and outlets
  • * Diagnosing electrical faults in a house
  • * Appropriate safety procedures and equipment for doing residential electrical work
  • * Working with residential panels and breakers
  • * Questions about deciding where and how to lay down conduits
  • * Low voltage applications aka so called "data wiring" - ethernet (with and without PoE), coax (for TV/internet)
  • Where do you draw the line and how would newbies become aware of it?
