Installing a New Circuit
So, after the installation of the whole house fan it was time to actually get it working. For this a new circuit had to be installed. A couple of weeks ago we had our circuit box upgraded by Mike Kennedy of M.J. Kennedy Electric who we found on Craigslist. He did a fabulous job and really stayed on top of SDG&E and the inspector for us. So if you need some electrical work done give him a call at 619-666-4167 or email him at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
After reading a book from Home Depot and spending some time researching the web Alex decided he could install the new circuit himself. What a man I married! Not only a great blogger but a handyman as well. Who knew?
Here he is looking looking at the new circuit box as if he knows what he's doing
And look at that super cool tool belt that he just received as a birthday present
Through trial and error and a few bleep-bleep words the new circuit was installed. Alex had to crawl in the attic and in the crawl space under the house and thread wire through the walls to get it all working.
While Alex was doing all the dirty work I set up a cool spot in the back yard. While we love to sit on the patio it can get incredibly hot especially during a heat wave. Up in the back of the yard, under the trees, it is much cooler. I set up a table and 2 chairs with the sun umbrella.
Relaxing with his gin and tonic and some bread with olive oil.
What a guy. And here he is with the final word
It was very gratifying when I flipped the switch and the fan worked perfectly! If it hadn't worked, I would have cried.
