So in yesterday's blog, I was musing about how Christmas comes and goes so quickly. But today, I had to run and pick up some parts at Lowe's for Jim and stopped to get a few groceries. Are you ready for Easter candy? Crazy - two days after Christmas and Easter is 4 months away!
Jim went back to work on the conduit runs in the metal shop for wiring. He had to make a jig and bend some conduit to make the run to the garage door opener receptacle box...
The completed run...
And mounted in place!
Jim continued his conduit matrix system on the other side of the beam to bring wiring to where it needs to be...
He mounted some clips on his tool cart and put a piece of copper pipe through it with his spools of wire to make the process of wiring a bit easier.
Starting to put wire through... Putting 3 wires through these conduit runs isn't easy; wire has a tendency to get caught. Jim had to use his fish tape to get it through.
The wire is through the conduit into the other bay...
Bringing the wiring into the light - this is a complicated procedure. Wire has to come into the light and then down across to the switch box, before coming back into the light.
The light is all wired up and ready for bulbs! Jim also ran the wire through the conduit to the next box where it will lead to the other light in this bay (whenever it comes in).
This is obviously temporary because Jim will have to open up the wall in this area to bring the wire to the breaker box permanently, but for now the wire is into the breaker box and will function normally!
