Can I do plumbing/electrical work on my own home?
Yes. Any person owning and living in the home can do plumbing and electrical work. That person must show that he or she is capable of doing the work by passing a homeowner's test, and must personally do all the work. In addition, the homeowner is required to sign an affidavit stating that he or she lives in the residence, and will remain for 12 months.
