Let's talk about wiring.......



Sometimes your kids just need a timeout......and Booomer got in trouble, you can see that Scooter is hiding and didn't like what she heard either.....


The electricians are running wire like it's 17 cents a foot....yes I remember the good old days and just glad there isn't any inflation to deal with....


And outlets.....but these are a little different in nature, there are really X-10 outlets that will be controled by a computer.


The place that you get killed with is the home runs.....when the circuit leaves the room and goes back to a breaker box.......110 feet away.


Can lights come in about 200 different forms....these are low voltage directional.....in plain English that means it costs 8 times what you pay at Home Depot for those Halo ones.....


The biggest problems that the electricians have is coming in behind the A/C guys that have used hard piping and no flex......then the plumbers had already ran his drain pipes and water lines....yada yada yada. So the electrician have to work around all their noise........we have only had to move a couple items...so FURR.


While wiring the inside of the house, they have to think about all the outside lighting and we can light up East Tennessee after this project is finished....ROTFL.


In addition to the wiring for lights, they also ran speaker wiring all over the place.......and remember if it's toooooo loud, you're to old!! The red wire is part of the ADT wiring for the house....


Some people have asked about talking about problems in building, well the list is endless at times, but just normal stuff....like we install a raised floor in the nanny flat, we raised it just 5 inches but the problem was the outlets were now in the middle of the counter tops.....go figure.


So they cut out the drywall...that had been faux finished....I cried. But all is well now....after those drywallers patched it back up.....drywallers....where are they anyways.....
