fox update: more data conduits in, as well as the fiber for future use. it can just stay coiled up in a 4-11/16 square box until it's needed, surely multimode transceivers will still be around by then. no pull strings yet, ran out of time to get to that. the joist bay above is getting mighty crowded with conduits to various places, there were already two up there going upstairs before i started adding any for the garage.

on a side note, has anyone ever used a roto-split for anything but armored fiber? do they start becoming useful for like 10/3 and larger solid conductor MC or something that winds up being difficult to squeeze into splitting?
fox update: the first of the new vacuum pipes are in. we're vented to outside and have our first inlet for a hose. ignore the low voltage wire that hasn't been zip tied to the pipe yet. maybe i'll put it in 1/2" smurf tube, idk.
the fnacy schedule 20 PVC is so annoying to deal with compared to regular old schedule 40 DWV pipe and sewer & drain pipe, especially cause of the need to cut it square and smooth. it wants to smoosh instead of cut, so the scissor or ratchet type cutters are right out. it smooshes in the rotary cutter but does eventually cut and return to round. but it's super smooth inside and along fittings compared to schedule 40 so i see the advantage.
