general contractors don't do that part

subcontract it out to the pricey electricians? I
understand that theyãpass that cost to the homeowner, but still it would have
been moreñprofitable to it themselves.What am I missing? I feel like there
must be something about it that's}not easy that I'm not seeing. I've been
adding electrical outlets and
installing fixtures and doing stuff like that
myself since I bought
the house and it's certainly easier than carpentry.
Perhaps it's theÕregulations? Anyway, please let me know what you think.
