not meant as offense, but based on the questions you're asking and just gauging your level of experience on it, I would actually just recommend you can an electrician.

Good lord. I'm no electrical genius but you + electrical wires = burnt city block.

Electrical work can be very dangerous if proper precautions are not taken. Not taking into account the great personal harm you can do to yourself or your home there are many other things you need to take into consideration such as local and national electrical codes, permitting and the like.

There are many good books on home wiring to help get started. Check out the books, talk to your local planning department to find out what permitting requirements you might have. However, if you do not have a experience doing this kind of work or an electrician friend to supervise/help out it is very easy to get in over your head.

Given the great risk to you and your home it may wiser to just call an electrician.

Please call an electrician, get a few estimates for the job. I know this is a diyer site, but most people asking electrical questions here at least understand basic wiring. You should read up on a couple of books to get some understanding of the wires, colors, etc.

...talk to your local planning department to find out what permitting requirements you might have.

Or if the line is long, you can always ask the experts at your local Home Depot.
