Hello,

It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.

I'll start right away.

For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

Before March 2014:



After May 2015:

Ah, that will be a bit easier for us with 27°C (81°F).

At least I would have run the empty conduits in the ceiling at right angles; otherwise, it’s guesswork later on to figure out what is where—in case of need.

I don’t know of any cables that can handle a zero bending radius, so such sharp bends are not allowed—you have to use curves instead.
Documentation never hurts, but nowadays as a proud homeowner, you’d usually do that by taking photos.

No idea where I wrote anything about kinking, but you can use 90° bends, even fairly tight with the thin cables, and then simply run them parallel to the walls instead of crisscrossing. Indoors, cables usually run vertically down within the walls, not diagonally across them.

Hello,

there are good reasons to use the shortest route between two points for the cables. For cable lengths over 15m (50 feet) with 1.5mm² (approximately 1.5mm² or 16 AWG), you are no longer allowed to protect the circuit with 16A (16 amps). So it makes sense to keep the cable length below 15m (50 feet) by taking the shortest path.

Inside walls are done this way because it is required. There are so-called installation zones where the cables are allowed to be placed.

As an electrician, you can probably explain this more precisely? I would come to about 23 meters (75 feet), which is 50% more after all.
