Marshall (with Alanna's & Marc's help on the weekend) has the exterior electrical ready for inspection. The meter socket is now connected to the panel! Wires run from it on the wall down through the trench, under the front deck and into the electrical panel in the basement. Once this gets the ok from the Hydro inspector and they hook us up to the pole, we will have power! Marshall has put one plug on the board beside the panel from which we will be able to run extension cords for light & power tools.
The roofers are almost done...thought they would finish today, but alas, such is not the case. They just have to cap the main part of the roof and install all the vents...then we can get windows!!! Really getting tired of shoveling out the house!
They have to cap the top of the main part of the roof. Garage is complete.
Meter socket on wall. Wires run down from here in the grey conduit on the right, in the trench and into the house. Hydro will run their wires from the pole in their own trench and will come up into the grey conduit on the left.
Can't see the shingles for the snow.
They finished the west side today, including the two vents.
Because of the size of the panel and code requirements for the height of the main breaker, we mounted the panel sideways. The small grey conduit that is running from the bottom of the panel houses the copper wire that is attached to the grounding plate which is buried 2' underground.
This picture is for you technical types...the big red, black & white wires that you see are what was run from the meter socket on the garage, through the trench to here.
View from my kitchen window (or will be once I get a window!)
Although the snow has been a huge pain in the butt, it is very pretty out there!
