    Big copper haul

    Previous owners of my house were DIY'ers. and not very good ones.

    Just finished upgrading my basement to LED bars and decided to fix up the wiring. I am now running on 4 free circuits because they had a lot of them just ran to a single outlet or light. I figured I removed over 300' of wiring and ran about 60 to get the light fixtures ran on new Romex instead of the metal clad braided wire.



    I'm thinking I might make more money in scrap than I spent on materials. Name: 16426047_10154976526075908_6392074890198735305_n.jpg Views: 767 Size: 72.6 KB

    I still have some plumbing to re-run, and about 10' of electrical to remove and 12' to run. Then it's on to renovating the spare bedroom closet as my gun closet

    Awesome, last fall I upgraded the both the shop and house to 200 amp service panels, like you did tore out a lot old wire then installed a few LED panels. First thing we noticed is about a $30.00 a month reduction on our power bill.

    What a difference independent circuits makes, now we can use the microwave and toaster at the same time with our popping a breaker.
