Long time, no progress! I know, I know. As Joe said, "If you don't work on it, you'll never get it finished...it's not like you're going to hire anybody to do any of it!" Life has just been a little more hectic than normal... Saturday, we did get a little wiring done, and I think the Welder made a good journeyman for the day :) He nailed the electrical boxes to the stud boards.
Here he is securing the wire with a staple...not your ordinary staple. No stapler involved-these staples are hammered.
Dad drilled the holes for the wire's path.
Jason used the cutting torch to make way for the wire in the areas that ran into iron.
Then Uncle Pete pulled the wire.
Guess we are lucky to have electricians in our family...this is only half of them too! Really helps, since as usual, we have no plan and are figuring things out as we go along...not a good method if you are paying someone by the hour!
The Welding Wife had the important job of pulling the wire to keep it from getting hung on this corner.
And then winding up the cut wires to fit inside the boxes.
I also marked the "home run" wires that ended up at this box-I know, I'm very electrically technical.
Mom and I also made our way through the exercise equipment maze to decide where some of the different light fixtures will be used. So many decisions!
Then, to wrap up the day, we worked on the
HVAC door.
We are finally learning some tips to make things go a little faster...like get all the help you can find! Thanks Kristi and Kayla! (I won't even mention that Kayla broke more tools than the amount of paint she scrapped...
hehe)
