mdooher:KiwiNZ: personally I would not do it....
1. safety would not want to see love ones zapped.
2. If it goes wrong and causes a fire your Insurance will probably be void.
Why would his insurance be void for something he is legally entitled to do? that's what insurance is for.
My understanding is that this work will need to be checked by a registered electrician before going live, the OP has said there is none available therefore assumption is the power supply will be turned on before being checked. The Insurance company would be well in its rights to decline any claim resulting from that installation.
