That is what I want to avoid, having the electrician make two trips.

When I did three boxes in the bale walls for my workshop, it was no 
problem at all.  I just ran the wires along the bale strings, tied 
with cable ties, and brought them out at each box 
placement.  However, I only had three boxes.  With the house, there 
will be at least 26 boxes due to code requirements.
