When I had My house sided, the siding yahoos, had removed an old deck that surrounded the house and at one point a former owner had added security lights by running the romex, under the deck, they were planning on putting the romex under the siding, J-boxes and all, luckily I was able to drill holes and get the romex under the house and off the sides, but at best I only stayed a day ahead of them......<G>
