I appreciate your suggestions. So many problems with this house. Labor cost wise, I really want to not use conduit. The owner has no electrical skill but has free time so I will get him to do non electrical work. The conduit around the posts was the owners idea, but I agree would look terrible. Drilling through 200 year old 8x8 posts, I’ll have to consult the inspector. The owner told me he already had to ‘sign off’ on the framing.
I’m thinking romex next to the pink styrofoam, then having owner cover with 1/2” foam board. If I can drill posts, that would be good. Use a short 3/4” pvc to come out into the back of a pvc box that recesses in the mortar joint. Let owner cut it in. Great stuff anywhere needed.
Customer is family member of a friend, so I probably can’t pass on this job.
