So I'm rewiring my house and I am weighing my options for routing the electrical wire. I sketched up the two options in paint (the photo shows my old windows before reframing for and installing new double hungs).
My first option is to run the wire up through the floor from the basement, then horizontally under each of the windows (red route in the attached image). This route uses much less wire, but requires much more drilling. The red route would also run only about 12" off the floor, and I'm not sure if that's acceptable.
The second option is to come up through the floor again, but this time go up to the attic and back down for each outlet (blue route). The blue route requires a ton of wire, but less drilling and would be more out of the way.
I will also have to go up an over at least one door on this run, if that makes a difference...
What's the best way to do this?
Thanks!
