The Electrical Rough-In Decisions You Can't Undo

CJ walks through a beachside new construction project in Half Moon Bay, using the tight lot as a real-world example of why electrical site prep decisions need to happen before hardscape goes in. Once concrete or bluestone is laid, running conduit becomes nearly impossible — and that's the point. He highlights spare conduits stubbed out for fire pits, landscape lighting, water features, and future utility connections as standard practice, not an afterthought. Ground boxes, junction points, and pre-planned raceways in both the front and back yards illustrate how a builder named Jamie approached infrastructure proactively, leaving options open rather than locking the homeowner into decisions made too late.
