I have recently acquired a small cabin and wish to have a generator used to provide power as it is off the grid. i would like to have 4 wall sockets and three over head lights. the problem is that the cabin for all intensive purpose is finished interior walls are finished what are my options for running the wiring setup???

You could try a product called wire mold or an equivalent. These of course run along the outside of the walls.

you could also run the wires in the wall with a little work. using "old work" boxes and a fish tape

HomeDepot and Lowes carry the stuff.
Do you have access to the space under the floor? Is it uninsulated? If so you can run wires in the joist space and up into the walls to the 'old work'.

Your other option would be electrical conduit on the outside of the cabin.

You could run all your wire in the floor area, then poke up via conduit for an outlet every so often, just a foot off the floor itself, run up further for a light switch then beyond to the lamp itself. Just one idea.
