So, I'm now on my second electrical project (after the success of adding a double socket to mums attic!). In my "computer room" I'm using two extension leads to power 7 or 8 plugs, all from one single socket in the room. One of these plugs is for a powerful PC, the rest are for low power accessories (I'm a long way from the 3000W limit).
I'm planning on adding 9 sockets in total by extending the ring. Achieving this by three of the "triple" drywall sockets installed alongside each other in the stud wall above my desk.
So I've lifted floorboards ready, and got all my three cutouts made where I want them. I have come across insulation in the wall as you can see in the pic. This is where I feel I am out of my depth as I'm not sure if it's OK to let my cables go up through this having caught glimpse of threads on here about overheating etc. Someone that cares less than me would just run the cables down and not think twice but I'm interested in how it should be done? Ultimately I could remove all the insulation for the section where the cabling will be present, but that seems a bit extreme...
I'm unsure about conduit etc also. What is the done thing when running two cables up the wall like this?
All help appreciated
