[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3528639, member: 7900"] I wouldn't be so sure about assumptions on building homes. We just purchased a home after looking for about 2 months or so. In our looking, we happened upon a new neighborhood being built. We stopped and looked at things at the model home and then went on down to look at a couple of homes in the process of being built. We were surprised to see walls with studs on 24" centers instead of 16". We talked with someone later and mentioned that and was told that "supposedly" builders could use 24" centers if they were building with 2 by 6's instead of 2 by 4's. What we saw weren't 2 by 6's. So, if builders are willing to build a house with fewer studs, I wouldn't be surprised if they limited the size of the electrical system. [/QUOTE]
