If I were to make one of picrel myself, what type/gauge wiring would I need to use? These kits are like $75-$100+ I think I can make one much cheaper.

how poor are you?
I'm not. And I intend to stay that way.
Besides, I need one in 3 different rooms.
12-14ga romex, a roll is 275

just buy the dumb kit, by the time you get the outlets, cover plates, etc. you will be saving money, I don't think most places will sell romex by the foot
>put two stacked totes in cart
>hide a couple rolls of romex in between the totes
>go to oldest and slowest cashier you can find
>pay for the totes
>free romex
I'm not a Black person
Just buy that direct burial uf stuff, it's almost always cheaper
what size it the breaker that you're running off of?
15 amps
Just buy a 10 GA extension cord abd salvage the wires, OP.
Don't run extension cord wire through the wall. It won't last.
14g. and you'd need to buy a spool of romex, plus the boxes and outlets and plates.
just buy the kits, will all match in the house, buy a spare if you think you might need it later.
>have used multiple of these types
