Yesterday a friend and I each got $20 to help a bathroom renovator clean up the pile of rubble he had created behind an older (80s) singlewide. Of course, I find about 10 pounds of cable (cleaned and stripped) in the pile. I think, "Well there's $35 extra." I strip it down to nothing, and go to put it in the scrap barrel when I see that I knicked a section, and that section revealed what was beneath! Aluminum! Of course, I get angry that I just wasted a few hours stripping NM cable that is worth about $5 instead of $35.
So, what do you guys do with copper clad? Throw it in with the aluminum, or just chuck it? Also, this NM cable was black, so I assume that if I find black NM I've found copper clad/aluminum NM? Also, this was no. 14. I thought no. 12 was required in the aluminum section?
Please excuse my stupidity,
Ian A.
