Your phone takes really nice pictures. I don't think I could take something that fancy to any job site.

It's not a phone, it's a Canon A560 camera. I paid around $150 for it on Ebay and keep it stowed in the truck. I only take pics when no one is looking...:grin:

Good stuff. Clean work is definitly a joy to look at. I personally take pics on the phone its much easier and don't have to let the owner know etc. just snap it when i gotto (well other than military sites I dont wanna get into trouble over nothing :roll: ) TBH I had an old school phone for a long time since the gadgets the cellphone companies were coming up with was cheap dissapointments. Only recently was I satisfied with the camera quality enough with what they offered to grab one of themz smartphones. oh and I love being able to jump online and read the news, check mail, etc. especially during lunch.

Yes, it's definitely nice to start with a clean slate. The new owner wanted to clean the property up.

how did you enter the romex into the conduit inside the garage?

Using these:

abrasion is the worry I believe.

It is pretty common to see the romex sleeved in emt up to 8' or the joists, whichever is lower, around these parts.

I prefer plastic, its easier to paint.

I have always heard that EMT connectors up to 1" are a rated bushing.

You know anything about this?

?? Is a connector a bushing? Are you asking if a standard emt connector meets the requirements of 300.15(C)?

All in all very nice finish project.

My question, is why you didn't used a slip joint, on the PVC conduit, that
feeds from the panel to the LB.

I just ran some 12-2 MC through an EMT sleeve that went through a fire wall. Should I have put some Arlington's on the end of the EMT??

Nice job, by the way!

What for?

Ground heave isn't an issue here and that stick of pipe is only about 4' long so expansion/contraction isn't an issue.

Thanks for the replies.
