I am going for my journyman ... its going to be fun. I found out I love doing electrical when I bought my house. I had to replace almost all the outlets and put in a few GFCI outlets. Put up a outside light on the side of the house and run a outlet into my office closet. Right now I am going to price out two attic fans and a light fixture for up there. I hate caring a flashlight and during the summer that attic is freaking hot.

Enes what you are trying to talk about is right its called ' Fish Tape '. You can also get glow rodes too at Homedepot or Lowes with a hook on the end.

So far what I gather from looking at my book (Complete Home Wiring By Sunset) If you use a metal box you need to tie down 12" and for plastic box's 8" away to tie down. And for that metal plate less then 1 1/4" from edge of stud. If you don't want to do it. Just get some one to come in. Its not hard but if you don't think you can do it. Contract some one to do it. Good luck.
