We have just bought some land (not in VT.)and have been contemplating building a log home there. Wiring to receptacles down near the floor level can be hidden by using a wide foot board. This should be in the design of the home. Light switches may be another problem. And overhead light boxes will present another challenge as well as the wiring to them. Thanks to those who have posted good ideas. I would like to hear how some of these challenges are solved before I get the floor plan designed.
Would not want painted EMT or NM cable, but may have to accept some compromises in some situations.

Thanks.
