Just keep in mind that in some jurisdictions, like Australia, it is actually illegal to do you own electrical work without a license. Technically you're not even allowed to run phone or network cables here without a separate cabling licence, which not all licensed electricians have. Something to do with the phone system and anything that is connected to it, even via another appliance.

Other jurisdictions like NZ, I believe you can do your own home wiring, but don't quote me on it, as it may be totally wrong, or has changed since I last heard.
