[GreenKeys] Stranded vs. Solid Wire

The specs call for me to use AWG 22 stranded wire ... Should I hold out and 
get
some 22 stranded? Or should the 18 solid be ok?

    I'd definitely go with stranded.  You don't want to be tracing down 
opens in the wire when the solid conductors break due to flexing.  Try a 
local shop that does business telephone systems (or just visit the trash 
container behind their office).  The big distributors (Allied, Mouser, etc.) 
sell a near-infinite variety of cable if you want a more professional 
appearance.
