Wrenches, <div>Short of contacting the builder, i'm looking for your experiences, practices and "look-out's" for penetrating a strawbale exterior wall with conduit.</div><div><br></div><div>For the project in question there is currently a teck cable from a wind gen entering the home by sharing a HRV vent opening that i want to fix (not my original system by the way) and i will also be adding another penetration for a PV array that i am relocating on the property. The original penetration for the PV was done properly but its not in an ideal location for the re-located array wiring.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm wondering if it is as simple as using a hole saw extension to go thru the ~16" wall and use an LB/box on either side. I'm sure there is some framework and/or rebar supporting the bales, how do you locate/avoid these when there are no corners to measure from? (it is a round home) </div><div>Any knowledge if PVC or EMT will react in anyway with the bales? I'm thinking that PVC would be best....?</div><div><br></div><div>... i am trying to contact the builder to address this, and also to ask a few choice questions regarding the wiring methods (he?) used in the original PV system set-up.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>benn<br><br><span class="ecxecxecxecxEC_Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(0, 32, 96)"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">DayStar Renewable Energy Inc. </font></span><div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">benn@daystarsolar.ca</font></div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">780-906-7807 </font></div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">HAVE A SUNNY DAY
