Why pay someone to do a shoddy job when I can at least try to do a good job?

Because of liability.

Well yes, there is that insurance liability. They always like to see "professionally" installed to code.

All you have to do is pull a permit and get it inspected. I put a 100 amp sub panel in my parents garage to power a wood working shop. Ran the all the wires and conduit myself and made all the connections. Got it inspected, no problems.

I once pulled a permit for wiring an outdoor socket with a timer to run Christmas lights. Inspector came in, I showed him what I did. Guy didn't do jack. He never even checked to see if I had the wires reversed. Nothing. Felt like I had wasted my money. But it did make it official.

Make a good mechanical connection, then solder the joint.
Use whatever method to seal the union.
