This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Electricity.

In this Badge Bit, you will run some wire for an electrical project.  

Here's a video of a guy running wire:


To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
  - run 20 feet of electrical wire (14 gauge or heavier)
  - attempt to follow local code so that you don't burn your house down

To show you've completed this Badge Bit, provide proof of the following as pics or video (less than two minutes):
  - the location before you start the job
  - the work midway through
  - the finished wire run

I’m installing 5 sockets in my basement. They’re installed in a new stud wall put up by me to help insulate the basement.

The cable runs for 7.7m / 25ft through two rooms. (19 studs at 16 inch spaces).

Here are my images with descriptions of work carried out


Here is the first room before I did any work:


Second room after I put up a vapour barrier and studs.


Code compliant holes drilled through the studs using a 3/4 inch drill bit on centre.

7.7m of wire

You can also see two green lights on the socket tester
