Today we got serious about wiring. You can see that Len the creative has been busy again. After stealing the big wheels for the log splitter, he put on smaller ones to create his wiring caddy.

| A thing of beauty |
 |
| Various sizes of wire for the dryer, stove and sub-panel |
Meanwhile, Cath got busy putting spray foam around the windows and doors. Once that was done, she was Len's go-fer and wire puller. We started with our living space above the garage.
 |
| See that little yellow bead ... I did that! |
Of course in order to string wire, it meant that we had to remove some of the insulation we just put in yesterday. And working with furniture in place complicates things too. We have moved things multiple times now.

| A hole between the garage and the suite (note all the wood chips - they are everywhere!) |
 |
| Suddenly from below, a wire magically appears |
 |
| Meanwhile in the basement, Len has the runs of wire neatly organized |
 |
| Obviously not hooked up yet |
And what did Cath learn today? How to pull wire so it stays flat. How to mount a receptacle box. How to cut insulation around said box. How to vacuum for at least an hour to get all the wood chips and bits of insulation off the floor.

| Almost a switch |
It was a pretty warm day for here, about 25C, and by 7pm we were ready for a break. So we sat out on our "deck" (particle board sheets over the joists). Beer, tortilla chips (Fresh is Best - the best), salsa and cheese dip....and the view

Sweet! Will you be moving some of the trees?
