Cat5 Wiring

\_ While I agree one should only use a licensed contractor for most work, I do
\_ not believe state law requires all work be done by licensed contractors.
\_ For your own safety that's what you should use though.

I believe there was a discussion on AZIPA within the last year that
beat this to death.  Visit them for details/discussion.

IANAL, but I believe the summary goes like:

* handyman -- no license -- residential, NOT for major (any?) profit, and
       can't be done often: eg you can wire your house and maybe your
       mom's but that's about it.

* professional -- license -- knows about building codes, wiring
       practices, and you (the business) can point the fickle legal
       finger of fate onwards if wiring is determined to be the
       reason why a fire breached a firewall.  Check with contracting
       board for complaints, BBB, etc.

* If you're a business, get somebody with a license, bonds, and a good
       reputation. 

YMMV.

\_ I would advise all that are considering this to know that
\_ Arizona Law requires licensed contractors (classification
\_ K-67 or L-67 for commercial, C-12 for residential) to do
\_ this kind of work.  To be a contractor, you have to fill
\_ out a ton of paperwork, have a business, be licensed,
\_ insured, and bonded.
\_ 
\_ See http://www.rc.state.az.us/l_gen.html and
