Heads up on wiring prices. - Bernie - 04-18-2022
Lowes $99.00
Amazon $50.40
I am moving the laundry room downstairs and thoughtI would run new wire from a common point to the new location, blah blah blah and did some wire shopping ya know.
Thought I would share.

cuprum is expensive

That's a significant difference in price!

buy on Amazon, put up a folding table in Lowe's parking lot and sell these at $75

Or, not that I would ever condone or do this myself, but "return" them to Lowe's for store credit!

Boy, have I been out of it for far too long. My use of Romex only included three wires; a hot, a neutral and a ground. Now they come with five wires. Holy moly.

Comment on the Amazon listing is that they have the wrong item pictured, they provide a picture of the actual wire bought. Would be interesting to know what the pictured wire is used for, the two conductors on the left side are visibly smaller gauge.

Southwire Romex SIMpull 25-ft 10/3 Solid Non-Metallic Wire (By-the-Roll)
What's it made from that conducts electricity?

Doing a search, the two extra conductors are for controls like dimmer circuits.
Home Depot lists it as "SIMpull NM-B-PCS Duo Cable."

Speaking for anyone living in the Chicago area, I forgot that Romex still existed.
