Resources for DIY electrical

I was reading this post (https://permies.com/t/364002/DIY-School) and my memory was jogged.

I had to take a state licensing test that had test questions way out of the scope of work I needed to do. I was getting the license for a specialty trade that went from not requiring a license to requiring a license in 2023.

I found this youtube channel below to be very informative and helpful. Now the guy has an online training course (but still has a ton of free videos on youtube). Watching some of the videos on the more advanced subject matter was a key to passing the test.

I would start here if you need some clarity on DIY electrical questions.

If I google if I should do framing, I'll get a list of contractor websites telling me that I should not. If I google if I should do plumbing, I'll get a list of plumbing contractor websites telling me that I should not.

Apply common sense and if you don't understand what your doing, you may not want to do it. Or if you are just uncomfortable with it.
