the 12 three is being used between two three way switches and from one switch
to the light.. In this case the main power is coming into one of the switches
from below.

Hello folks. 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
