Electrical Box? DONE!

 
 
 
 

Well the job is done. I took out that horrible "fire waiting to happen" Federal Pacific box. They have a 10% failure rate I'm told. I replaced it with a Square D cheap jobbie from Lowes. I had a little trouble with the 2 gauge Al wire coming up from the Main but my electrician buddy helped me out with some know how and a weird little contraption to give me the extra 18 inches of neutral wire I needed. Now everything is code and the breaker no longer keeps switching off at random times. One step closer to completing the attic.

The Summer Has Begun

So work will resume.

We will begin work on the picket fence along side the house, as soon as I get the boundary line dimensions worked out. I power washed the fence and boy is it clean! Nothing like 1500 PSI.

Then I have to do the Federal Pacific sub panel in the attic, which might happen before the fence at this pace.

Then I will redo the attic. Yikes!
