I started my re-wiring project and want to avoid drilling my undersized 2x8 joists. So I started by running wire along the joist above the panel to the center beam. I then ran the wire along the side of the beam til I got to the joist I needed to run the wire back out.
Well after doing only four circuits I realized that this was not going to work. I will quickly fill up both sides of the beam by stapling to the sides of it. Looked at an interesting product from Arlington but at $4 a foot a little too pricey.
I was a little surprised that I could simply 'build a box' around the wires but happy that it will be a lot eaiser to run my wires. It never hurts to call and ask a question...
