Days 15-16: Running the Wiring and Learning Lessons

We were so jazzed up from our last time working on it and the progress we made that we set a bit too high of expectations. Day 15, we ran the wiring we got from Home Depot through the TD. Six wires, 1-Inverter 2-Fan 3-Dome Light 4-Solar (Surprise!! We will be installing a permanent solar panel on the roof!) 5/6- Reading lights. 


We labeled the ends so we knew what was going where. 


Actually not convinced we got much more done today except for installing the base of the interior cabinets. Oh! We routed out the hole in the interior ceiling for the fan to sit in. Even wearing safety glasses Dan managed to get a chunk of wood in his eye. He also is super weird about things in his eye so trying to flush it out wasn't the easiest of tasks. Doctor Danielle to the rescue though since we finally got it out after taking my bottle of saline and flushing it up under his eyelid. 

Also, we fit!

Total time spent Day 15: 3 hours
Total project hours: 57 hours


Day 16 was a rubbish day. We spent around 4 hours trying things and failing and not able to get cabinetry hardware to work. All we have to show for Day 16 is that we got our dome light installed. (Which was the easiest part of the entire project thus far.) Here's hoping our next work day is a better day! Taking a few days to recuperate from being burnt out of TD work. We've logged 60 hours in probably 2 weeks. 


Time spent Day 16: 4 hours
Total project hours: 61 hours
