In my last video, I probably should have included an image of what "in conduit" means. So here's the outlet in my kitchen island, and what's inside the cabinet.

All electrical work around Chicago is done like this even in residential construction. Armored cabling is sometimes allowed and is much easier for a DIYer. I've worked with it before, though, and it still sucks compared to Romex!

 @d1e2f8e7 Armored cabling is allowed in central Canada as well. Though it is more common for a business then residential, however it is legal either way. Horizontal outlets are not as common, but I've seen them over the years. 

 @d1e2f8e7 Meanwhile in Japan...

 @d1e2f8e7 My dad was an electrician in the Chicago suburbs and I was always impressed with how fast and precise he was at bending conduit.
