That is why I hate box stores. Junk.

Drill them. Looks tacky just stapled, even next to the beam. And you never know if you'll want to put a ceiling of some kind or if you decide to sell.

Sounds like you have an open neutral. Are the white wires tied together in the switch box?

Just run another pipe.

Gray or Blue wirenut

Stub conduits out of the panel into the tray would be the best. Personally I like conduit for power especially. Tray is good for data cables, when there are a bunch of them. I'd go to a electrical contractor and see if they'd sell you some. The company I work for has tons of it just laying...

Has to be GFCI

possibly the green wire is wrapped around the cable. Did you try pulling both out at the same time?

Really, a 100 amp panel with more spaces would have probably been plenty. Especially since it's a rental. Unless there has been a problem with the main tripping.

Agree. Always go with the nameplate

I would go with figure A. The wire will have a little bit of movement with the ground, and the conduit won't, since it's strapped in place. Not sure if I can really explain it right, but an intructor in my apprenticeship explained why figure B is a bad idea.

Bad connection of the neutral is what I was meaning. Maybe I read it wrong.

An electrician gave you an estimate for everything but cutting the wire? Pair of cable cutters, or sawzall

1% ??? I'd say a lot more than that.

+1 agreed
