Since late 2025, I have assisted with multiple electrical installations involving circuit runs, panel integration, and branch wiring in both commercial and residential environments. These projects included running Metal Clad (MC) cable in an attic and sanctuary ceiling at Christ Fellowship Church, as well as rough wiring for a bathroom remodel in a residential rental property. Each task required careful routing, secure fastening, and coordination with panel work.
Christ Fellowship – Third Floor Bathroom & Water Heater Circuit
The first attic run involved installing approximately 75 feet of 12-gauge Metal Clad (MC) cable to supply power to newly framed third-floor bathrooms and a water heater. I secured the MC cable to rafters using appropriate clips and installed two junction boxes and two breakers tied into the existing panel. The run required careful routing to maintain proper support and clean organization along the rafters.
Accessing the attic space presented physical challenges. I had to climb a vertical wall section to reach the ceiling cavity and then crawl through a space less than two feet high to complete the drop into the bathroom walls. Working in tight spaces required patience, controlled movement, and awareness of both footing and cable protection.
Christ Fellowship – Sanctuary Ceiling Run for Camera & Sound Booth
The second church project involved running approximately 150 feet of 12-gauge MC cable across the sanctuary ceiling to provide power for two new outlets serving a camera and sound booth. I secured the cable to rafters using clips and assisted with routing the run from the front of the sanctuary to the rear.
The sanctuary ceiling space presented significant safety concerns. The area required navigating small framing members while avoiding missteps that could result in a fall through the ceiling from significant height. Careful movement and controlled wire pulling were essential to ensure both safety and proper cable support. Panel termination for this run was completed by my partner in the same panel used for the bathroom circuit.
Rental Property – Bathroom Rough Wiring
At a residential rental property, I completed rough wiring for two bathroom outlets and a fan/light combination unit. I ran 12/2 Romex for the receptacles and 12/3 Romex for the fan/light combo, drilling studs to conceal and protect the wiring runs. Three switch boxes (gang configuration) and three individual device boxes were mounted and positioned according to layout requirements.
One of the more detail-oriented challenges was ensuring that drilled stud penetrations remained level and aligned across the wall cavity. Maintaining consistent hole height improves cable organization and reduces future drywall or trim conflicts. Panel connections were completed by my partner during a larger panel rewiring project, and nail plates are staged for installation once framing adjustments are finalized.
