Well, Scott and I put all the electrical boxes in yesterday. We debated over where to put them, but in the end we went with my obsessive, symetry driven way of doing things. We put in more outlets than I am required, but I would rather have too many then not enough. Our home in Waldo had a total of two outlets in the entire upstairs that served three rooms. There are 22 in the three bedrooms of our new house. That should do.
New job, second honeymoon with Valerie, building a house. Yeah, life has been busy. Here is a summary of what we have been able to get done on the house the last few months: we dug the well in April and could be pumping water today if we had power to the house, the rough plumbing is in the floor and all we need to do is punch a 4 inch hole through the basement block to hook it up to the septic system, and the main electric line and panels are hooked up both outside and inside. I still need to dig a trench out to the utility pole and have the electric install their transformer, but after that, we should have power to the house. Scott and Ken have been a HUGE help the last few weeks, motivating me and showing me how to do all this stuff that I have never done before. Next week we will be starting to run the electrical circuits and hooking up the breaker boxes (I have two…a main and a genrerator backup panel). I get excited when I see good progress being made. Water lines and a set of stairs and we are about ready for the big inspection!
