A chat with a solar installer about conduit runs changed my approach
We were on a site in Denver and he pointed out how planning for future panel upgrades during the initial rough-in saves a ton of headache later. He said, 'Always leave a pull string in that extra conduit, even if you think it's overkill.' I used to just focus on the immediate circuit needs. Has anyone else started doing this after getting burned on a retrofit?

Getting burned on a retrofit" is my entire career story. I'm the cautionary tale.

Totally agree with that installer. I started running an extra empty conduit from the main panel to the attic space on every job, just for future wires. It costs almost nothing during the rough-in and saves a massive headache later. @patricia_morgan32, I feel you on the retrofit pain, that's exactly what this avoids.
