I am restoring a 200 year old stone farm house.
I'm at the electrical stage now.
I have the panel installed. Now I need to start running romex to
various locations in the cellar for the first and second floors.
The joists are a minimum of 6X8
The center beam is 14X14
Can I put the boxes on the bottom of the joists...or on the sides?
How do I run the wires? I know(now) I can't go from joist to joist
because of the "do not hang" clause.
And these joists are oak which makes drilling a real chore
I'm at a loss as to how to do this.

Can anyone suggest a DIY wiring book?
I may need a refresher.

Thanks..G

forgot about your boxes. they can be mounted either way depending on
their use and head clearance.
