Sad but true.
As for the contractor requirements to wire and plumb a house, some licensed people here are excellent, and in fact some unlicensed people here are excellent.
There are some licensed people here I would not have change a light bulb or replace a washer in a faucet.
I have a BSME and have done extensive electrical and hydraulic work, but I couldn't touch my own house when I built.
Now with SB1077, the category of owner-builder is essentially eliminated to provide more money for building contractors and their political friends like "leadership we can trust" Neil Abercrombie.
Hawaii can be bizarre, and a bazaar as long as you have money and friends.
