At the request of Southwire we must either type while holding down the Alt key 0174 when talking about Romex® or refer to it as NM-B, NM, or non-metallic cable.

You adherence will be greatly appreciated.

I prefer to just refer to it as 'Kleenex®' Folks will understand what we are talking about.

"Why would I give a rats a$$ about south west wire ?"

to respect JW's request and the avoidance of a lawsuit for Terry?

Good answer BobL. You should get a Gold Star.

I would gladly give up some of my Field Rats, Butt and all for some Copper ®Romex wire.

I would have to save some of the Rat Butts for my cats to kick and for the Snakes to eat tho.

You made my morning, thank you mr mouse nm nm nm ps i hate terminex !!

You're welcome. Glad I saved that old picture to use some day. you can call it Romex®


Just hold down the ALT key and press 0174 on the numeric keypad if you did not already know that.

If you were in NY like me, I'd have you pegged as a troublemaker from the start, but I give you more credit to start being you are in layed back California

so did I mean laid back or layed back?

Romex is a brand name. I don't walk in the supply shop and ask for 12/3 Romex. ....I walk in and ask for12/3 non metallic. I understand they ate being picky, but who cats, a professional doesn't refer to a chapter 3 wiring method by a brand name.
