As information, we now have over 7,500' of wiring in the house - that nearly 1 1/2 miles of wiring.  Wow I never dreamed a house had that much wiring in it.  Of course that includes all 110v, 220v, Television, Telephone, Security Wiring, Door Bells, etc.

 

 

 

Finally Finished.  We moved in May 13, 2005
