2x2 layins are all over the place.

Get 3K. 27K is an ugly color in LED.

Running conduit in a new house would be absolutely miserable. Back in the day they shared a neutral on almost all circuits and had far less 3 ways, 4 ways and just overall circuits. You could get away with just a few home run pipes. Now you would almost have to set a damn trough on top of the panels or a huge 20x20 box in the attic to distribute out of. If I had to do a house and couldn't use Romex I would rather use MC. I would probably have to still do a trough or something accommodate the amount of wires I would need to get into the panel.....or mount it like a fucking Canadian.

Remodeling with EMT is brutal. Its not like its 1 wire that you can pretty easily move. The pipe is usually full of multiple circuits or switch legs and you have to do some very time consuming research and then re-routing. Alot of the old shit has garbage crimp on connectors and no ground wire and god awful thick rubber coated solid wire.



Agreed.. Way worse when it is all plaster like my last 3 houses ive lived in.. Im currently in a plaster house but i didn't pull any permits..i learned that after the first house to make nice with the neighbors and never pull a permit. . we can have whips 6 feet or less in Chicago.

Someone has been lurking


Not at all. Just nothing going on in sports (baseball more importantly) to discuss and debate. Just decided to see what was being discussed here.
