Thanks for the many replies, we started the cabin today 2/27/04, The builder and I spent most of the morning walking around scratching our heads trying to come up with something easier then a chisel and hammer, then we drove to a couple of hardware stores looking at different tools for ideas, we were told about a disc that goes on a disc grinder that looks like a chain saw blade but they didn't have one in stock that would have been perfect for channeling down the inside beams. I talked the builder into buying a heavy duty router with a 5/8"x2.5" bit, he made up a jig when we got back and cut out about 10 perfect holes in less then an hour that the boxes fit perfect. I drilled down into the basement with a 1"x18" auger bit and extension so the receptacle boxes on the 1st floor are complete, I drilled 1" holes through the 1st 3 logs to the basement for the switche boxes, I then handed the bit to the builder and said I'll be up monday, I hope when I get there he didn't miss any thing. As far as using wiremold I didn't get that option from the homeowner. As far as just using the interior walls, code requires a receptacle within 6' of any point along any wall over 2' for line voltage receptacles. One good thing about this log cabin is the interior is flat and finished so it looks like pine tounge and groove which makes the cover plates fit nicely. I'll keep you posted
