Last night I managed to get the first round of ENT conduit and the electrical boxes installed and in place in the perimeter walls of the porch. No wire pulls, but the routing is gentle enough that pulling 12/2 should be relatively hassle-free.
I still have to figure out routing for the interior lights. I was looking at it last night and I think I have a pretty good idea where to go, but there's still a bit of a narf from where the wiring comes through the basement wall into the porch and then back into the house wall cavity. I might actually do a separate hole for the lighting conduit since I think I can route it into the wall cavity much easier that way.
Incidentally, color codes for utilities from the APWA listed below:
Red electric power lines, cables, conduit, and lighting cablesOrange telecommunication, alarm or signal lines, cables, or conduitYellownatural gas, oil, steam, petroleum, or other gaseous or flammable materialGreen sewers and drain linesBluepotable drinking waterViolet reclaimed water, irrigation, and slurry linesPinktemporary survey markings, unknown/unidentified facilitiesWhiteproposed excavation limits or route
Good to know.
Weird thing: the smurf tube is blue, as are the PVC electrical boxes.
