Re 1) No, you can't. If you do, you're likely to burn down your house. Don't do that. Use the specialty tools and materials for electricity if you must do it. But honestly, wouldn't you rather a nice bonded/licensed professional do that for you?
I have someone on my flist who lost his house, everything in it, and one of his dogs to a short in an electric fan.
