ready for inspection

Whew! Finally, we are ready for the electrical inspection. We went up to the cottage Saturday to work on the last few things, all of which were outside projects. It was raining so hard, with no sign of letting up, so we resigned ourselves to the fact that we'd have to come back Sunday and hope for some decent weather.

Luckily Sunday was cold, but no rain. So with mitts on my hands, we worked away. We had to put in the outside sockets and the outside light fixtures and have them fully sealed against the weather. Also, had to label the circuit box and get the grounding cable and plate in place. The flexible conduit was so cold that we had a heck of a time getting the copper wire all the way through it. It just kept kinking up. But after a few attempts and several curse words we got 'er done.

Now we just hope for the best and that the inspector doesn't find too many things that need to be redone. We were pretty careful and tried to do everything above code. Guess we'll see.

The cedar siding is going on the cottage.
