Jim,
My thoughts exactly. Look, grab, go.

OK, I'm beginning to understand now...

who needs vision?

we can gauge by feel, right?

It would be easier to visually follow circuits in exposed areas. I'm wondering what the customer critique would be on seeing all these different colors together where they run exposed?

I can guage by feel too... 14-2-G is a lot more flimsy than 12-2-G...

I'd be more interested in color coordinating for surface mounting on jenny-lynn walls! Yellow to match the wall paper... Brown to match the stained oak... (Just kidding...) Painted NM Cable surface mounted in old houses is the norm here...

Canadian Sparky... the RED romex wire for 240V is still widely available around these parts (Southern Ontario).

Virgil,

"jenny-lynn walls" ??

Help me out here, I may have heard the term, but can't remember where.

Please 'Splain

Bill

Well if your going to color coordinate a room with NM-B do the straps come in different colors too ? I mean afterall, if you run Brown on the stained Oak panel a white staple would look, well somewhat out of place. ?

Jenny Lynn Wall: A solid wall, built from wood planks or decking, much like a barn wall. Some are built in staggered layers. Popular building method in the late 1800's to early 1900's.

motor-t, yep, good point!

Now it's the Product of the year.. !
I can't wait for all the 'designer' models to come out.......
