I'm planning to hire someone to replace five light fixtures/fans and a toilet. I'm comfortable disconnecting the old fixtures, but I don't feel confident about putting in the new ones. Is it okay to handle the removal myself, or are there any potential issues I should be aware of?

Definitely a good idea to label the wires before you start unplugging anything. If you've got a bunch of white wires together, keep them bundled and use some electrical tape to label them. It’ll save you a ton of trouble later on!
Absolutely, go for it! Just make sure you grab some good tools and maybe check out a few YouTube tutorials. Once you get everything done, you'll feel like a pro!
If you can take them down, reinstalling should be totally doable for you. It's a perfect opportunity to learn something new!
Plus, if you swap out the standard wire nuts for some Wago connectors, it'll make your life a lot easier. Trust me, they save so much time and hassle, especially with something like a fan!
Great tip! I hadn't thought of that before. I'll make sure to take some photos, too, just in case!
