Electrical Backbone





The super dramatic work is done for the moment. Now it is the subtle, but important stuff. Like wiring. I do hope to get a photo of our excellent electrician Shannon Moffatt. He walked me through the kitchen area and confirmed the locations of all the plug boxes and light switches. Did you know that electrical wiring is $2/foot?! Happily Shannon is a thrifty electrican and is effectively re-using some of the old and excellent wiring to save us some money. $700 for electrical supplies alone today. And did I mention we don't have enough power coming into the house? This explains why we couldn't have the toaster and the coffee maker on at the same time. At this point we don't know how much it will cost to bring the larger conduit from the power pole. Wish us luck.
