But that's the only wiring sure to pass inspection -- and the only wiring that will give safe, trouble-free service for the life of a home.

>This is your complete guide to installing residential wiring the right way -- from the tools and gauges you'll need, through switch circuits and service entrances, rough and finish wiring, to additions and alterations to old work, troubleshooting, and repairs.
