BOI'S SUCESS AND A FAILURE

Getting ready to "go under" the cabin to install more plumbing to the shower/tub.

Man, that ground looks hard.

                                                                        Here I go!!

                                  I made it under, around, on top of, you name it, its down here

                      We have Water, I took the first shower and herself had a bath. Everything works.

This is the bathroom vent/light/heater combination awaiting wiring.

Electrician, page 2

There's a light in the bathroom and plenty of outlets for when we have hair dryers and washer and clothes dryer.  And best of all there is going to be a heater built into the light and vent!  So I don't have to freeze anymore!

Himself took this shot.  Doesn't that look warm and cozy?

oh boy.  that's looks a mess! 

And shows how much more work there is to do!

But with electricity in the cabin,

nothing can stop us now!

Oh well, maybe putting that dry wall on the ceiling? 

That sure might slow us down anyway.

ANOTHER NEW TITLE FOR THE "BOI"

Now its "electrician". After spending alot of time wiring outlets, ceiling fixture boxes, and a new circuit box for the new cabin, it was now time to connect the 60 amp wires from the new box to the old box in the old cabin. I think I do fairly well at wiring when I know there is no chance of electricution, however this was going to be a test of my nerves. I do not want anything to do with wiring on the "meter" or hot side of the circuit box. The only safe way would be pull the electric meter, which I did not do, or hire a real electrician, which I did not do. I waited till herself had gone to town, surprize, so I would have no one watching as I nerviously proceeded to either death by electricution, or hopefully success. As I am able to write this, you can probably assume i'm still alive. And, by golly, we have full blown electricity service in the new cabin. Of course, by some strange fluke, the following day, Sunday, all electric power at the lake went out. And I could tell by the look on herselfs face that she thought the wiring I had done had somehow wiped out the entire lake's electrical power. And, actually, I entertained the thought that maybe something I had done could have caused the problem. But then I thought, if something like that was going to happen, it would have been the afternoon after I did the wiring when the AC was running full blast, refrigerator running, etc that any problems would have shown up. Nothing did. About 30 minutes later the electricity came back on and all was well.
Next we are going to start plumbing in the shower, vanity, and toilet.
Stay tuned
