My old boss told me to always run the main panel wire in the attic first, not the basement.

Honestly, I thought he was just being stubborn about his way of doing things. But after a job in Tempe where the attic crawl space was way tighter than expected, doing the basement run first would have added a full day. Anyone else have a rule like that they fought at first but now swear by?

My old foreman had a rule about stub-ups that I hated until it saved my bacon too.

That attic rule makes even more sense in older homes with finished basements. You can't fish a wire through a drywall ceiling if you start downstairs.
