Yeah, brought up the gutter idea, and it did not go down well. Maybe there needs to be a more aestically pleasing term for "Gutter", or "Trough"? Not to mention, I would need two or three as I would exceed the derating exception. (Upwards of 70 circuits, and switching on each of both floors.)
As for the crew just going on thier own, right now they don't see the big picture at the end of the tunnel yet. Truthfully, neither do I. This also needs to squeaze through HVAC and Sprinklers as well, finding a window for a straight shot has been tough.
OK now I am just whining....
