While I wasn't sure what I was planning to do about electrics yet, I knew that I was going to have some lights at the very least. So before boxing in the insulated roof I wanted to run a couple of cables up there.
A friend of mine had a couple of spools left over which he'd given me after some home renovation. I hadn't done any research or learnt anything about electrics yet but one spool had 'lights' written in Sharpie and one had 'ring' written.
So I drilled holes through studs and rafters from where I thought I would have my power coming up to the ridge and along, inside the insulation.
I ran two cables, one to the centre of the ridge for a bright strip light, and one to a point halfway down the front pitch in the middle of the two corner windows, where I thought it would be nice to have a pendant.
