I doubt he'll have a problem with too much selection. A more likely scenario is that he might not have any selection at all. They might not have the length you need or even the color (white/beige). You could give them a call or even check their website. I believe if you choose the store, it'll use the inventory for the website. I think Lowes calls the item "wiremold." It's also more than just the strip. Unless they have kits, your DH will need to consider something like a connector or end caps.

I just had my electrician get it from his supply house. That way, he had everything he needed to make it all work. He came with extra stuff and was able to return what he didn't need. I think tradesmen usually have such relationships with their suppliers, even if they're not Lowes or HD.

Good luck.

OT: At the risk of stating the obvious, be sure to take pictures *before* the electrician does his work, ideally with the date-stamp feature on the photos. Just in case you need proof sometime down the road.

Good luck!

We got ours from the electrician....he said it would basically be the same cost for plugmold vs outlets in the wall. MQ

Ditto on ours - our electrician measured and gave the specs to the electrical store and then I payed for the order.

Now you see it...

Now you don't

We had the GC put a wood strip at an angle at the back of the cabinet and then used very basic black plug mold -very slim except for the box but you can't see the box with the trim

We actually have an outlet behind the coffee pot - but plugged in to the mold for demo.

I still put a few plugs on the wall - but almost wish that I didn't' - OK, only 3 and 2 are matched with light switches.

It may be worth just paying the electrician to spec and buy the plug mold, especially given your time constraints and preceding history.

Recently I bought items at the direction of a major plumbing company which the plumber installed (main water valve pressure reducer), and after all said and done, at the bottom of the invoice I found the words "not under warranty due to customer purchase". I beg to differ of course.

I was thinking along linelle's lines. Better yet, if you can VIDEO an electrician going through and pointing out what is wrong, then that would be stupendous! Glad you have a plan to move forward on this and get stuff right!

glad to see a follow up post from you, have been thinking about you.

sorry to hear of electrical issues, agree with person who suggested before and after photos.

good luck, keep us posted.

""not under warranty due to customer purchase". I beg to differ of course."

So you expect a tradesman to warranty whatever you hand them to install?

He is going to warrant HIS workmanship, just not YOUR part.

I don't want this to go off topic for the OP. I am offering advice based on recent experience with purchasing home parts yourself, that's all.

Brickeyee, I know you're a plumber from your posts. But really, at least my plumber could have said: "look, if I buy and install the WHOLE HOUSE WATER PRESSURE REDUCER instead of sending you to buy it, the entire job WILL BE UNDER WARRANTY".

Given a choice, I think most of us prefer to have the part and labor protected by the professional plumbing company if possible. Plumbing, electric work isn't cheap and is always looked at in detail upon resale. Just saying...

I have wondered about this warranty issue as well. Appliance people want to install the appliances we are getting, GCs want their people to install the appliances. I'm currently unclear as to how that is going to work.

hoboken - are you not due to give labor at basically any moment? I wish you didn't have to worry about this!

Is your bag packed for the hospital?

Bag is packed. infant car seat is in the car.
Due tomorrow. I am excited, but after a very unpleasant meeting with the GC yesterday combined with all sorts of threats (all from his side), it has also been a very rough couple of days. Wondering when we will catch a break.

It is great to hear you are making progress and getting everything sorted.

Did you end up getting a much better price by calling the electrician and drywall guys etc yourself?

(((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))) Hoboken! So sorry the GC meetings went downhill. I hope you can take the next week OFF from all of this nonsense and focus on that little girl! You have EARNED a break!

"I know you're a plumber from your posts."

Nope.

Professional engineer.

I would not expect ANY tradesman I hired for ANY work to warranty items they did not supply.

On larger jobs for hire I warranty the items AND the work.
