As I have needed to do a few installations recently which were all
surfaced wired, I though I would lob the few photos I had into an
article with some tips on wiring surface stuff.

What I got so far was:

However it could do with photos of other types of install - say conduit
metal and plastic), micc, square trunked etc. Anyone got any good shots
I can use handy?



My tip for choosing trunking, if a beginner (like me). Choose a size
that definitely looks big enough, then go up at least one size more. It
really beats buying the stuff twice.


Yup, first time I ordered 16mm D line, I thought nope that is no good
for man nor beast[1] and asked them to go fine me something large enough
to use.

[1] 2 x cat5 would be a push for that, whereas you can get 4 x cat5 in
the normal 16 square trunking.
