I've done quite a bit of electrical work in my house over the years and have
helped a few other people out. I always make sure I understand what the code
is for each project and I always follow it.

Bingo! Know the code, and follow it. The only thing the
contractor can do that you can't, is sign the paper.
I can draw up all the plans I want, but it is Petros's stamp
"Licenced Civil Engineer" which makes them "Official". I can wire
anything I want, but it's not official until Gary or Vince sign off on
my work.

The point is that in any place I've lived, even a sign off isn't
necessary unless the job requires a building permit (read: increases
the property value = increases property taxes).
