i;ve been getting home late working 12 hour plus sometimes days building panels. here is where paul is with the bathroom... i particularly like the tile, like merc, and the paint scheme. still a lot more to go but he;s making the best progress he can without me there to help him....

now here;s what i;ve been up to all week. i could bitch slap the designer that designed these panels. they left out several key electrical components in the drawings that set us back a days work. see, they knew that they had the parts to go in the panel but did not allow for space. we had to remount the wire ways, called panduit in this case - the manufacturer, and terminal strip din rails - the metal thingies that the terminal blocks, fuses and other components fasten to on the back plate. anyway, here are some pics today while i was wiring panel #1. started it after lunch and am almost finished with it. another wireman needed the drawings i had to complete his panel so i gave him them and started on panel #3.

oh, and as far as the pretty wire colors? black in this case is 480 volt, red is 120, blue is 24 vdc, white is 120 neutral, and white/blue 24 neg. oh and green is ground.

been busy and not been around too much but here is what we have at the house. well as of yesterday. it;s late and i haven;t ventured into the bathroom tonight to check progress. the original vanity had the pluming holes on the wrong side of the rear panels so paul returned it and got imo a better looking one.

then this last week at work someone laid down a foundation for a BBQ pit for the new party area. when i got to work today me and RC mounted the thing. then later ronnie broke it in by cooking fajitas for the staff!

Separate woodbox would've been nice.

On the other hand, they don't let us do any kind of BBQ at the Sears tower.

I like that bathroom tile. The wall colors look just like my kitchen.
