Hi TT_dude, Consider spending SOME of the money you save on an AT Home Wiring Book. The keys to this job are the locations of the outlets, 'proximity' of the various wires to each other (vs. 'shielded' wiring), location of the panel (which I suggest you put on the 1st floor if you can), and using HIGH quality wiring. If you're running wiring, say, from the panel in the basement (if that's where your putting it) to the 2nd floor, or any floors above that INCLUDING the attic, I'd consider using conduit. AND, if you can, I'd install an EXTRA conduit in case, later on, you need to add either more wiring or a different kind of wiring. Use 2" conduit for HIGH voltage wiring and 1" conduit for all the others. I'm assuming you're doing this in a NEW home vs. an existing home. If you're doing the latter, adding conduit may be difficult. Visit A-m-a-z-o-n.com, and such, for a good book or 2. My best to ya and hope this helps. Jay J-Moderator PS: God Bless America!
