Saturday Morning I went to the HD borg for some wire and a GFCI breaker box. Well as you might expect it was past 11:00 AM and the store was crowded. I went to the electrical dept. to get 4 wire 6 gauge cable. I was looking at a roll of 125 ft for the price of Yikes!!! $255. No way I only needed about 60 ft and wasn't about to spend that much. Well a HD employe actually came over and asked if I needed help, I was in shock for a few seconds till the shock wore off, usually you can't find these people. It must have been my lucky day not only was he helpful and managed to find a new roll he can cut off 65ft of the wire but he was actually intelligent and knowledgeable, helpful and gave me a few tips, when I told him I needed it for conecting my new Hot Tub in my basement. Instaed of using plastic tubing to run wire (finished basement can't run wire in walls, I'm usually over kill when it comes to safety,especially electrical stuff, well won't get into details on basement walls)from GFCI box to tub he suggested I use wire molding and gave me directions where nearest Electrical supply store was located. His son works for a pool dealer and does a lot of hot tub/pool installations. Wow! a first for me Kudos for tha Man! think I'll write the borg a letter praising this person!!. BTW go figure 125 ft cable for $255 I only paid $1.49/ft for 65ft at $96.85 ?????? better deal !!!
