Let There Be Light & Electric



Frozen buckets on the inside, glad I turned the breaker on for the bucket heaters, the ice was fairly thick this morning, the full Moon was still up, high in the sky.

He wrapped up the electrical project in the shed, hanging the fixture from the wall above the window, instead of the ceiling. The ceiling's integrity is in question, the wall is cinder block. Easy choice, right?

The switch is located by the door, it has a timer built in and an 'eye' that knows if you're there. If no activity within 30 minutes it shuts the lights off. Under the switch is a Quad-outlet. A new breaker box is now installed and completely wired in and wire run in the conduit, inside and out.

With all the rain we had the trench collapsed just right! To correct the exterior basement step light's deficiency, he bored through the wall and corrected the faulty wiring, installed a new light that matches the lights in the stalls. And now the sump pump is hard-wired into the house, no more extension cord!

With the newly installed electric in the shed, he'll move forward with installing the overhead light on the exterior, illuminating the front yard. There has never, ever been a light in the front of this house, ever.
