Got a small cabin that is basically on blocks. No room to really get under it, and I am in the process of removing part of the floor to jack it up. My question is, while I am under there, can I run wire the best I can? Does it need to be sheilded some how? I am worried about mice, or should I be worried at all? I would securre it the best I could. Right now everything is over head and I am looking to the future as far as upgrades. Once this fllor is down I will lose the oppertunity to get at it again.

Thanks glen

I believe mice will chew on romex wiring. I would put the wiring in conduit myself.

And for sure whatever you use has to be rated for wet conditions.
Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.
