Just curious, what are you using the 12 - 3 with ground for?

It appears the weather may let us get started on our room addition. I called dig rite Friday so the locates on the utilities should be done by Wednesday am. The contractor is planning to come Tuesday or Wednesday to start sawing the pation up to remove and then the set of cement steps. Wife and I went shopping for ductwork and electric supplies today. Do you know they wanted $2.30 per foot to cut a length of 12 three with ground. So since I needed 60 feet I bought the full 250 foot coil for $104. Most of the other electric rough in stuff was easy. A little hard to bit the bullet for the new arc fault circuit breakers now required by the 2008 N E C. Basicallly all 120 volt 15 or 20 amp outlet circuits require either the arc fault or ground fault protection. $40 each. The real problem was in the duct. i had priced the boots and flex duct at my supplier but he would have to order most of it. The box stores had 4 inch and 6 inch stuff but no 5 inch like is what currently in the house. I plan to disconnect two runs and then extend them for the new room. So guess I will place a order next week. Really hope the weather holds fair. Wish us luck. Ron [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
