Running some low voltage wire or really anything on a spool? No problem. ..#build #builder #framing

What happens here

Place the large reel of black electrical cable onto a hammer, using the hammer's handle as a makeshift axle. A person then walks along the wooden framework of the outdoor structure, systematically unspooling the cable from the reel. The cable is carefully laid out and routed along the bays of the wooden joists, following the intended path for the wiring.

Goal: Lay out the electrical cable along the intended path.
