Spending over 8000 hours as an apprentice telecom tech pulling and terminating lots of wire. After I got my journeyman license about 8 years ago, I hardly ever had to pull wire anymore. Funny how that works.

Back in the days when a process control computer was BIG and had thousands of wires running point to point and wrapped around terminal pins, I used to apply power to a new system for the first time and locate and correct wiring errors. Making a prototype system that had never worked before function was a blast.

my dad bought a couple houses last June, and I have been working on them since then.
New wiring (was old **** & tube stuff)
Insulation (house had none)
Siding (the old shiplap is crumbling)
drywall (plaster is cracked from earthquakes)
We are going to put in a new kitchen, and bathroom this summer, and then start on the back house, I love construction!

Now I write orders for others to pull wire and program the PBX.

Watch my Dad do wiring, plumbing, carpentry, and so on. If you are doing house wiring, you can get a book that explains it in simple terms. BUT, it should be inspected before it is all covered up.
