One issue that I always have, and gets worse when it gets warm and people start partying outside, is outdoor lights on 2-story houses.
Everyone wants a light high up at the second floor level, but wants the switch near a doorway that is 30' away and around a corner from the light.
Other than piping on the outside of the house, our only option is running a cable from the switch, down to the basement, then up a chase to the attic, then back down the outside wall to the light location. It becomes a pain, and expensive. And when you give the estimate to the customer, they think you are robbing them :lol:
I will often try to sell them a motion light mounted directly behind a receptacle on the second floor. Much more cost efficient.
Anyone else hate this type of thing?
