I'll say! The price of wire is through the roof. Down in the more populated area, Lowe's and Home Depot now keep all that in a locked cage. How thieves stroll out the door with a roll of cable is a mystery to me. They don't cage it at the ones I go to. I need to run power to my little garage I built, and my barn I'm moving from there. On the second floor of the barn I have a 250' roll of 12/3 I bought 20 or so years ago. Thank goodness!! That was a good investment
