In Response To: Material: Few more questions re SK S&G build (Thomas Duncan)

I found some #6 or #8 multi strand copper service wire that is 18gauge.You cut it in 4 inch pieces and then strip it. Much cheaper that the hardware store which gets 3.00$ for 25'. If you don't know any electricians go to a suppy house and buy 2-3'. Just be sure it is 18 gauge.........

: One more question: Where in the heck do you buy copper wire or other wire
: suitable for all this foolishness?

: Thanks!
