Tell me about wireless switches. What do you need and what sort of cost to
install?

| A friend has a room with 2 interior log walls. A wiring cable has been
| installed in the space between 2 of the logs, to join switches at each
| corner of the room, to provide 3-way switching. The wiring is installed
in
| a metallic conduit device with a white cover that is about 1" wide.
Looks
| like hell.
|
| I gather the wire must be protected as it is low in the room (about 15
| inches off the floor) to meet the electrical code. It would have been
nice
| to simply tuck a cable with a dark cover in the narrow space between the
| logs and staple it in place. Then maybe some form of wood moulding
could
| cover the wire, either a flat board (with back cut sides to fir into the
| logs) or perhaps a half-round moulding.
|
| Anyone done some wiring in a log wall and have some suggestions on how
this
| could be tidied up and made less noticeable, but be adequately protected
| and meet code requirements?

| I've seen in building log homes segments on the homebuilding shows they
usually
| install the electrical wires in hollowed-out tracks in the logs
themselves.
|
| If the only exposed wiring in these rooms is for 3-way switching, I would
| replace them with wireless switches if the exposed (It sounds like you're
| describing wiremold) is offensive.
