I'm getting ready to rewire my old 1911 post-beam barn. One side will be livestock, the other will be for tractors and equipment. The wiring installed currently has inadequate lights and outlets. Last year I put in a new breaker panel. Looking at the latest NEC, they are requiring PVC conduit and weather tight boxes throughout due to the "corrosive, dusty and wet conditions".

So I went into the house and wrote him a check for $500 and bought them myself and said now they are mine. He had bought them about five years before thinking that he was going to restore them himself. After five years sitting in the barn, he changed h
