Tear out the drywall, tell the wife I remodeled the house...we're now open-concept / industrial look. I'm sure she'll grow to love it. :D

I have a lot of experience of fishing wire in existing walls without destroying them. Is there anything I can help with? Also there are a lot of good you tube videos showing some rather tough fishing problems. A lot of it is the right tools, and the rest is experience. I have done literally thousands for over 20 years before I became an engineer I was a tech.

Yep. Spray paint all the studs, wiring, etc, white. Anything over 8' high paint black. It'll look great! :)

Yeh, it seems a few of you guys are in the trade. I really appreciate it man, I'll get back to you on that if I decide to go that route.

I need a welding bead you apply with a caulking gun, then set it afire, like how rails are welded. :D

Well, a MIG nozzle is pretty close to that wish...

called an edison circuit. Example would be running a 12/3 romex to a single outlet under a kitchen sink for dishwasher and disposal. Instead of running 2 separate 12/2. Personally i hate them, there dangerous (if the neutral gets disconnected you can put 220 thru everything on those circuits). It is legal but both circuits have to be landed on two pole breaker. In commercial 3 phase jobs, lots of people pull 3 hots and 1 neutral in a conduit to make 3 separate 120 volt circuits. Done all the time...but not on my jobs.

I've done this before as I knew it would pass inspection. I never thought of your scenario but I'm with you. I'll never do it again.

This is the beauty of this site. You always learn something, even if it's how not to do things. :)

I don't much like this edison circuit either, but in my case it's only one isolated outlet at the far end of my garage, sharing the neutral with all the other outlets in the garage on another circuit, so I know what's on and off in there. Plus, I rigged that one outlet with a toggle switch, so could just turn it off.
