    Finished up for the night, drilled the second hole above the garage attic space and popped the conduit thru, worked out perfectly right next to the rafter so it can be secured with a clamp. Then fed the flexible conduit up through the hole in the garage wall and brought it over to the other conduit. I'm thinking I don't even need that other flex between the T body and this flex, I can just run the T body straight off the conduit through the roof deck, no?
    Probably.

    Are you making sure that the conduit is fastened to something in reasonable spacing?
    (ex. there's a conduit strap holding it in place)

    I don't know the requirements for strapping/support of FMC - that's something you should go look up. And make sure you look up requirements for longer runs vs. strapping at endpoints.

    the EMT sections you have will need support too - Probably since they're so short anywhere you can get a clamp/strap on them will work.
    I think for EMT it's within 3' of the ends and at least once every 10 feet (if you have long runs, which you don't)
    But FMC I'm sure needs more support.

    Better Business Bureau - Accredited vs non-accredited Ratings - my opinion

    I believe to be accredited, you have to be a member (PAY DUES).

    In my experience, if you are accredited, you get an A or an A+ rating. Period.

    If you are not accredited (DON'T PAY RANSOM), you get whatever rating they believe you deserve, based on multiple factors.

    The usefulness to me of the BBB is in assessing non-accredited businesses. I have had good luck on two occasions of getting the BBB to help me get restitution from NON accredited businesses. One of those businesses told me "we hate dealing with the BBB". Probably for good reason.

    Just my .02. When I see a business is accredited, I totally ignore its rating as being non-meaningful.

    Looks like good progress on your project.

    Just finished making a 1" hole in the roof decking and piecing the parts together with this diagram to make sure I'm not missing anything. Looks like I have everything I need to get it all installed in the attic tomorrow. Now I have to get up into the attic space above the garage and make a second hole there.

    Can you scoot those panels up a few inches so the rainwater runoff will go into the gutter?
    Yeah, I don't see why not. There is a limitation of how much, because the landscape panels above still need to overlap by bottom rail by a certain amount, but as you can see now, it overlaps the bottom rail more than the top rail, so there is room to move it up for sure.
