    Embedding cable under external render

    What's best practice if running cable from garage out to outside double sockets? I'm re rendering that wall and thought it'd be nice if I could hide the cable under/within the render... Is it possible / allowable within "the code"? With or without conduit? Does it need to be armoured cable?

    Nicked a Wire Under the Floor...Junction Box or Rerun?

    I dropped my multi-tool onto a 10/3 wire yesterday when removing some rotted flooring in a mobile home. I could see a bit of copper so I don't feel comfortable just wrapping it in electrical tape and calling it good. There is a crawl space underneath the mobile home where I can have the wire...
