gizmomkr Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I ordered 700ft of STP for this years additions.I NEVER measure anymore - First year I measured, I bought EXACTLY what I needed, I ended up short.I just finished setting up the new elements.Ok, here is the strange part. I have about 200 feet of stp left over.Every couple months, I buy a roll of 250Ft, and just throw it in the christmas pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBullard Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Yes, SPT is wonderful.I cringe everytime I see where someone is posting to "buy extension cords". Extension cords are a waste of money. Always too short, too long, ETC.SPT cords are always "just right". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownOut Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I bought five rolls of 250ft SPT and knew I would have extra- I have now been to Home Depot twice this weekend getting two more rolls- I did buy enough connectors ahead of time.

beeiilll Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 You can never have too much wire of plugs around during this time of the year.So nice to be able to just pull off whatever footage you need and make a new cable up on the spot.

gizmomkr Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Yeah, I have a huge pile of hacked up 3 prong yard cords... I used most of them last year, but with the extra spt, I might just end up replacing them all this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeKinne Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I got enough cord, thought I had more than enough plugs.....I am now swiping the female ends from old cords that we use during the other holidays. Oh well, next year I will just have to buy more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
