May 13, 2005 - Friday - Electrical work continues. This shot is in the
Southeast bedroom and shows wire going through a channel in an ICF wall and
coming out into a steel frame wall. If you look REAL close you can see
that the wire goes through a plastic insulator (non-metallic bushing) as it
passes through the opening in the steel stud. This is to protect the wire
from the potentially sharp edges of the steel.
May 13, 2005 - Friday - As mentioned in the caption above, wire must be
protected when passing through openings in the steel studs. This picture
shows the red plastic bushings used for this purpose. These are made by
Arlington Industries.
May 13, 2005 - Friday - Recessed lighting is being installed. These are
"Halo" H7ICAT units made by
Cooper Lighting. They are rated "insulation contact" (the "IC" in
their model number) which means that insulation can come in direct contact with
the lighting fixture. These units are especially good for blown in
insulation. They are also rated "air tight" (the "AT" in their model
number) which means they should help seal the living quarters from the attic.
May 13, 2005 - Friday - Our favorite lineman, Rex, showed up today from the PUD
to pop an electric meter into the meter base and connect our power lines to the
grid. Check out the reading on our brand new electric meter We now
have power to the breaker panel so the extension cord from our temporary power
meter can b e retired!
