I have been thinking about stringing out all the wiring and outlets myself to the greatest extent possible, then hiring an electrician to do all the hookups to the box. Does this sound like a good approach?
Thank You!

If you find an electrician who is willing to have you do some of the "grunt" work, it may be worth it to use some of your savings to buy a residential wiring book or a copy of the 2002 National Electrical Code (Borders has both). Not only will it help you do your part correctly, it may help you be a better general contractor, since you'll be aware of the standards your hired professionals are required to adhere to.
