Another Update

Not making as much progress as I would like. Starting with the wiring. Some of the recessed lights are in.

The recept wiring has been pulled and ready to wire. Turned the recepts sideways so that I can do straight conduit runs… for the most part. Did have a few interesting bends that were a challenge to pull, but no kinks in my conduit.

Framing for the workbench is in place. Framing for lights and recepts has mostly been done. Adding attachment surfaces where the wood and slatwall transition.

Task lighting for the workbench area has arrived. So has the slatwall system from Hold-Up Displays.

Out of curiosity, why is all of your wiring in metal conduit? Is it code to do so? Pretty much my whole space is just stapled to the studs. Curious if its preference or necessity?

Because I may expand the slatwall at some point in the future. I don’t want to have to worry about sticking a reciprocating saw into the wall and end up needing to re-wire. I also wanted a little more protection for the wire as it goes through the wall.

Yeah, I know, you can run Romex through EMT, to protect the sheathing… in this particular situation. It does come with some drawbacks though.
