Chairman's Award: Chairman's Award - Issue reason: Your outstanding contributions to this community have not gone unnoticed. IN my view you are a worthy recipient of the (rarely used) Chairman's Award. 
Default Re: Domestic Conduit / Cabling Questions

That’s a bit forward-thinking and considerate to leave a draw cord. Doesn’t happen often in Sydney. Around here it’s “rush the job, realise it’s wrong, lots of shouting, smash it up and try again, more shouting, try to push it through a dodgy certifier then call the gweilo to fix when it can’t be signed off as built”…

Re-measured my longest proposed run including drops, it’s 22m or slightly less to the intended sub-board location in my shed. Biggest loads on that right now are a large single phase compressor, old fridge and half a dozen twin 1200mm fluoros (normally only two or three are used). Presently supplied by unprotected 4.5mm through the roof cavity thence aerial conduit, it dims the lights when the compressor starts.
