But, while I like the idea of doing the work myself, I also want it done well and this is often a problem when people do their own renovations to save money on a professional.

It's nice to hear that you are doing the building by yourself. Truly, we tend to do things better in our way. You can decide to put things differently as you wish. Though professionals might do it better, it saves some $ and you will be contented with the end product cos you put in your sweat to get it done.

And sometimes, we even do it better than some professionals cos we would take our time to perfect it since we have the whole time to ourselves.

You will have to manage till the electrician come for the fixes.👍
