We took a bit of a break for a few weeks. Ian had a trip out of the country and I spent my weekends catching up on other things. We got back to it this weekend and got the playroom and stairway wired. Only a few rooms left before we can get the rough electrical inspection.
Use a wide chisel as a hammering surface when there isn't enough space to hammer directly.
We hunted all over the internet and couldn't find a good examples of how to install electrical in the shallow framing around our basement wall.
We used carlon new work boxes. They are single gang boxes, but double gang wide so they have 18 cu in capacity. To safely secure the romex, we used EMT conduit. The EMT keeps the romex in place and protects it from damage during sheet rock install. Make sure to use the plastic bushings so that the end of the EMT is smooth and won't cut the romex.
We weren't sure how to use the knockouts on the boxes because they are different than the rest of the Carlon line. Just push, and the plastic flexes out of the way.
