So it took us about 1 year 4 month from laying conduit to the garage to finally completing the garage electricity project. We dug the trench and laid the conduit in the fall of 2009, right before it got cold and snowy. We managed to fill the trench back in the next spring and were too busy with the roof project basically until this winter. Today it was finally time. A. finished hanging the conduit in the basement to the panel yesterday. Today we pulled the wire, hooked them up on both the main panel and subpanel and rewired the garage door opener and a light in the garage. I also installed the keyless entry for the garage which just makes our life easier: we won’t have to go unlock the kitchen and use the remote opener when we come home on our bikes.
Unfortunately, electricity projects mostly go unnoticed to any friends or family or curious neighbor. There is a small indication with this one:
4 little bird wires.
No strings attached.
I think this week and next weekend, we should be able to fix up the wiring of the kiln, install the kiln outlet and have a firing next week. Yippy. I bought the kiln when we bought the house and that was in Nov. 2007. I think it is about time.
And some cats to look at.
