And that's trained personnel, some of the work I have seen on home
builts makes me cringe.

Do you know of a text, or other reading, that one could study to learn
out about how to do wiring up to your specifications?

I used USAF T.O. 1-1A-14. The FAA A.C. (43 series ?)(for the life of
me I can't recall which one) is similar. None of this is a good
substitute for training and practice. I had some bad habits to unlearn
when I started tech school.

There are a lot of little things shown which aren't obvious on first
glance. An example: when soldering a wire into a pin on a connector the
length of exposed wire outside the pin must be less than the diameter of
the conductor. The reason is so a loose (for whatever reason) wire can't
make contact with the conductor. OK, so I am not good at explaining
things, but the basic assumption is that which can go wrong eventually will.
