| I'm needing to rewire the lighting circuit in our milk parlor, a few days ago we started getting shocked off of the light switch box. Discovered the box to ground had 115v, found the wire going to the switch was chewed up by rodents in the floor under the overhead grain bin and was shorted to the ground conductor, thus energizing the box. I've taken the floor up in another spot and found heavy rodent damage to the romex there as well. I'm thinking the simplest way to fix this is going to be running new wire on the ceiling inside the parlor either in PVC conduit or a liquid tight flex conduit. Otherwise I'll be looking at tearing up quite a bit of the floor in the grain room to gain access to the pathway of the existing wires. Looking for recommendations on wire type and conduit? Right now the wiring is all romex with metal switch boxes and conduit running into the cavity between the floor and ceiling. The wire in between the floor and ceiling is not in conduit, it's stapled directly to the joists. | |
