From experience - one of these things is not like the others.

If it isn't done right, you will have headaches for as long as you live in the house.
You will also have serious fire hazards and probably not know it.

Does homeowners insurance have the right to drop you if this is just slapped back together?

I've done the basic electrical. Even ran some new wires that weren't feeds. For the major appliances and fixing the out of code breaker box, getting a professional. I could probably do it fine, but that's not something worth leaving up to chance.

Practically everything else I'm doing myself.
