im using rs means it works.

I've been looking at getting their publication. Is it worth the $150 for the electrical portions?

I've been using durand & associates 2002 labor units manual.
I don't think a lot of things have changed since then. (Wire, switches, recepts, boxes, and conduit are all still the same. (or should be))

Hmm, I would disagree with that (at least in Oregon/Washington). The price of copper wire has increased a LOT in the last few years, with the price of copper. The price of PVC conduit is more expensive too.
