OP, you sound like me! I am the same way in wanting to do it right the first time. I too am not a pro, but I ask questions, read, and watch how the pros do it. Cabling seems to be my passion too!
I plan to get on with an install company where I live, get more experience with the work, learn all I can, then hopefully in a few years, start my own company for residential and small business wiring of phone, networking, cable tv etc. The class 2 stuff.
Good luck with your endeavors!
Thanks Will. It is an exciting field. I wish I had gone into it for a career, but life took me in a different direction. Luckily, Im exposed to small projects that I can take on and I can talk to real professionals on this forum.
Much success as you move into this career. I'm sure we'll cross paths again on this forum.
