I am looking to purchase ~2 ft of standard solid-core 3-conductor wire used for most house wiring, and a 4.5" square piece of thin, copper sheet for a DIY project. I know the stuff is starting to become expensive, but is it still readily available at places like Home Depot and such? ---

If you feel like breaking that off of your 250 feet, or have extra laying around, that would be great. ---

You need that specific type of insulation on it? That looks like underground wire. I have the regular indoor type that doesn’t have that much insulation. If that will work, you can have 2 feet of it. Where are you located? ---
