Santa brought me a bunch of great tools (thanks to this forum) for the LV wiring.
Is there a good resource, book, website, youtube that describes best practices.
So far, I've learned:
Quality wire matters. Clad is not solid.
Good tools make the job easier.
So far, my plan is to pull wire everywhere while the walls are open.
I'm thinking for interior walls to leave the wire behind the wall and mark, photo and measure where it is. After sheetrock, cut a box in the wall with an open back gang box and plate.
Or do you put the open box and let the sheetrockers cut it out?
What do you do for exterior walls? Pull a wire into a closed gang box and let sheetrockers cut around it?
I'm thinking wiring needs to be done before blown in foam and fiberglass batting? No?
My biggest concern is doing something stupid and having the sheetrockers come in and blast me for making things difficult.
I've got some time. Walls are just now going up.
