Thank you for the help. I was thinking the roofing copper would be #2. I've been saving all I can find. I have learned alot of lessons too. I had about 400lbs of BX. I stripped most of the wire out of it but didn't pull the insulation off of it. It took me a long time to get that wire out since it was old BX. Now that I have the wire out I don't think it's worth it to strip the insulation off. Everyone laughs at me when I pick up all the wire drop offs behind the electrician but i'm sure it will pay off when I need a little extra $.
