Electrifying!

Wiring anything can be daunting if you're not an electrician, which I am not.  As usual, I search and research until I find a suitable article to help me understand.  There is an excellent "how to" on the net including greenleafminiatures.com site and cirkitconcepts.com.
I decided to use "hybrid" wiring for my house.  It combines the "round wire" and the "flat wire" with connections secured by brass brads that are the size of mosquitos (well, little mosquitos).   The goal is to have plenty of light in your house without showing the wires.
I started by round wiring under the house (entering from the plug through the foundation) and coming into the house at the back wall and connecting to flat wire that spreads in both directions.  I also came up through the floor with round wire by the stairway .so I can run a flat wire around the bottom of the interior wall.  I plan to add an electrical outlet on that wall for a lamp later on. All of the first floor ceiling lights will be run under the second story floors but they are tied into the main electric at the back wall. This will necessitate installing the floors upstairs with a subfloor, but it will be worth it if I need to work on or change those lights out later.The chimney breast and fireplace will cover all the connections and if I work it right, I'll be able to open the chimney breast like a door should I need to repair any electrical connections later on. The rest of the flat wire will be covered with wallpaper.
