[C38] Electrical wiring

[Danny Haughey]

Hi marc

I think if you can find a convenient place to locate them, a positive 
and a negative terminal block is a really good alternative to running 
all the way back to the panel 4 times.  One nice 12 wire to feed the 
blocks and then run 14 or 16 wire to the fixtures from there.
