My Elk install was my first and I have a basic question concerning how I ran cables exiting the enclosure.
My main enclosure is installed flush in the wall at the top of the basement staircase. The cables travel down from the enclosure between the wall studs to the unfinished basement and exit through a hole that I droilled in the floorboard/ basement ceiling between the floor joists. So when I look up at the ceiling in the basement I can see the bundle of wires which exit through the hole and are tied in a bundle and attached to the joist.
It occurs to me that this does not look very neat and that the wires are exposed to harm. How would or should I have handled the wires? It was my first DIY install and I couldn't think of any other way to do it.
Any help appreciated, Mike.
