You never can tell what a church is going to do.
Last church I worked in, they rebuilt their kitchen entirely. Nothing much for plans, just a vague idea.
On one long countertop area, I thought I'd outsmart them and run 3 circuits (3-phase service) down the wall for c'top receps. I alternated the receps A-B-C-A-B-C... all the way across the wall. I figured this would spread the circuits evenly across the c'top.
No sooner than I had finished the job, they called to complain about breakers tripping. I beat feet over there, and sure enough, every third receptacle was being used. Coffee makers, roasters, blenders, microwave, you name it. All on the B circuit. Their logic was to plug into every third outlet so they wouldn't overload anything........

Dont you label your receptacles?

i had the pvc as a scrap and figured it would be cheaper and easier to use PVC than to cut a piece with a hacksaw and file it.

much worse than a comb... a comb can only straighten hairs or rip them out,
we can split them into thirds quite nicely....
example:
NO! YOU'RE WRONG!!!! article 250 - 31 (a) (1) subparaph b-3 fine print notes
specifically states THAT I CAN HAVE MY CHEST HAIR LAMINATED WITH VARNISHED
CAMBRIC, AS LONG AS THE....... diatribe continues for another 648 words....
Well, the EMT would eliminate the need for the extra conductor. You still need to cut the pvc ream it and then get the glue too.LOL

Only in America! What other site could one possibly visit and post a picture of a fairly "normal" panel install and within hours be directed to a half-dozen things the are "wrong" and ten other "better ways"
