No I will not help anyone do theirs.

Wiring up "The Roost" is a real pain.  

Only good part is that the outlets are high enough I can work sitting down.

I really don't like 10 ga solid wire.  That stuff really doesn't like to bend, fold or twist.

12 is the biggest I’ve done. I can tell that 10 or more would be no treat.

The biggest I have worked is 2500 mcm AL.    You just hoped it wanted to go somewhere near where you wanted it to.   (In bulk substation)   Roly

I think such a comment (getting something accomplished) demands you put up some pics.

I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

On big service entry sizez ill say some greenlee ratchet cable benders and ratchet cable cutters are super nice.

Also if you are doing lots of nm/romex work, some romex cable strippers are a huge time saver. Southwire makes a pair that doexs 10 and 12ga. Cuts off sheath and strips the conductors.

Also good quality wire nuts and wago connectors are nice. Green ground wire nuts are sweet too to twist a few conductors together and make an eye loop for grounding screw.

It isn't big and/or long until you need a winch to pull it.

We did some rewiring at our old church...used stranded there...that was certainly nicer to work with and not much more as I recall.
