Got lucky twice lately. Small stuff but I'll take any blessing that comes my way. Usually so much unexpected junk....
On one job, had to change room from 1 single pole switch to 2 3 ways & a 4 way. Existing switch had 12-3 pulled to it, red not being used. I used box above it for the other new switches. Pulled 2 12-2 MC's to the 4 way & 1 12-3 to the other 3 way. Walls were fairly easy to fish, getting cable across ceiling was biggest challenge. Made right joints at the box & all was good. Added an extension to it & closed up. Thanks to the guy who ran that 12-3. He helped me out and will never know it unless it was one of you.
On the next job, someone had properly terminated original neutrals on the rear bar instead of the front. I didn't have to snake around to the back side of a crowded bar. Thanks to him too! Starting from rear seems like a small thing but it sure helps the next guy.
We had just had a long run of real junk work, so these small favors meant a lot.
