williard,you've got yourself a pretty broad question there.in any wiring we have a thing called a home run.this is the wire coming from the first box on the circuit,and it goes directly back to the panel and labeled indicating what it serves. every switch,receptacle,and device needs a junction box,you just can't nail the outlet to the sheetrock. one thing you have to do is spend a ton on nm cable.your house can't be wired without it.consider a couple thousand feet of wire a small job. as long as you're doing that,consider the telephone,the tv,the doorbells,the computer cable,and some people install intercom and sound systems. enjoy
