projects on the go
This is what happens when you do wire-as-you-go electrical without first drafting.
Yesterday, I thought I could ‘borrow’ the hot (live) black wire from the mudroom 14-2 to run the exterior light, use the black wire from another 14-2 as a traveller, and use the white wire from that same wire as a common. It seemed like it would work at the time.
The blue arc-fault wiring dangling from the 2nd floor is now connected. I had to wait for the upstairs bedroom / stairwell wall to be relocated before connecting this up the receptacle.
The kitchen 3-way light and fan switches are now connected – or, at least, one end of it. Yes, I know, one switch is a different colour. I’ll get on that as well as stapling the wires down.
As none of the weeping tile, run-off mitigation, waterproofing, etc. has been done yet, the heavy rains in the past few days have caused some difficulties.
The mudroom leaks. None of the flashing or sealant between the four-square house and the mudroom has been replaced yet, so the mudroom leaks.
