And before someone comes here and says hey, using a cooked power strip might not be 100% up to code, I'll have you know that I wired my own house and it works fine.
A little tip for anyone thinking about re-wiring their house, go with aluminum wiring over copper wiring. It's a proven fact that aluminum delivers the electricity faster and it just looks cooler because it is silver and shiny, unlike copper. Copper went out with the steam boiler IMO.
Here is my basement, where the electrical magic happens at my house. It was a lot of work, but totally worth it.
