Hey guys.. I'm making a pedalboard for guitar effect pedals. The power supply I'm using is here: [url=http://www.amazon.com/Visual-Sound-Spot-Combo-Pack/dp/B000RNB720]Amazon.com: Visual Sound One Spot Combo Pack: Musical Instruments[/url] And the board will look something like this: [url]https://i.imgur.com/DWdsf2h.jpg[/url] [url]https://i.imgur.com/l7V3FVb.jpg[/url] However, I'll be using (clearly) a different power supply than the one in that board, and I'm trying to put a plug on the side of the board so I don't have to plug the 'One Spot' PS into a strip. I know normally with other power supplies I'd get an IEC connector and solder the power supply's cord-but since this is just an adapter, what should I use? Something like an extension cord? thanks, big noobie here

Hi all - Is it permissible to use in place of NM 12/2 cable with MC 12/2 cable where I am unable to meet the 1 1/4 inch set back from the stud surface? This is the problem I have; Renovating a room in my house. I pulled the required permits for the job. I'm doing the work myself which is allowed in my town in NH. The house was built in the 1840's. When we stripped off the old plaster and lath (messy dang job) we exposed some of the most beautiful hand hewn beams I have ever layed my eyes on. We decided to keep them exposed. The room will have several switched receptacles so the need of ceiling lighting is kept a minimum. We will be installing 1 inch insulation panels to cover the ugly old boards and then we'll cover the insulation panels with 1/2 sheetrock between the beams. In the center of the room we will be hanging a ceiling light/fan unit. To run power to the fixture and wanting to keep the wiring hidden, my thought is to use MC tucked up against where the ceiling boards meet the beams. Is MC cable considered safe to use without a protective shield of some type from an accidental penetration? Thanks in advance for the help. Roger
