Enjoyed the wiring project!!!

[Sam Wilson]

Hi Gene,

> Enjoyed the wiring project!!!

Typical...  When we built out a corner office I put a secondary breaker box in the office and ran all the new office circuits off of it to try to do wiring right at least in part of the house.  Plus that left me with an option to run my office off solar and batteries if I wanted.  I jumped off the mains coming into the primary breaker box in the house and ran that plus a neutral over to the new breaker box.  Then we <gasp!> actually put in a grounding rod as close to the secondary box as we could without drilling a new hole in the tiled concrete floor ~ about 6 linear meters away, probably 9 meters as the ground wire routes (a little far away, I thought, but nothing else in the house has been grounded before, so it is better than nothing, right?  But at the time we didn't put the breaker box inside the wall, just screwed to the outside of the wall.  So while putting a ceiling in my office I figured we might as well chip a hole in the wall, move the breaker box up a little and recess it in the wall -- an extra day (and ¢10 mil) later we have recessed breaker box and no conduit running down the outside of the wall!  jajaja.  Of course while doing that, why not wire things up the way I told the "electrician" to do it in the first place?!   While discussing strategy with Gene one morning he decided to just hop on his horse and come on over to see what sort of mischief the two of us together could cook up.  We ended up proving out all the wiring that had previously been done to find that only 1 toma was done the way I told the last electrician to do it, the rest were miswired (of course!)  So we straightened out all that wiring and while on a roll, I tossed a stumper at Gene which 2 ICE engineers and a "street electrician" had attempted to resolve only to have all 3 miserably fail.  My wife likes to keep the TV and gaming consoles, DVD players, wireless router, etc. on a common wall between one of our living areas and the kitchen.  The only problem has been that that wall on the living area side had zero tomas.  So one day I mentioned to an electrician for ICE who was doing some work on another part of the house that we ought to be able to drill a hole in the kitchen/living area wall right behind the 220V outlet for an electric stove and put a 110V outlet on the TV-side for plugging in a UPS/power-strip/entertainment equipment.  So he tried.  Eventually he got it where an electric fan would work on that toma, but no UPS or TV equipment would.  Twice electricians tried to fix that super handy living area wall toma and two more times they failed.  Finally we gave up and I ran an ugly extension cord over to where we needed a bunch of things plugged in.  Well, Mr. Smarty Pants took about 5 minutes to check each wire on the 220V side and see what had been wired up wrong on the 110V toma-side.  We fixed that up and even put that circuit on a new circuit breaker.  Prior to that the entire house (not counting my office) ran off a single 30A circuit breaker... I feel so upgraded!  jajaja.

Thanks, Gene!

Sam

It was fun...

Dont forget to replace the 220 plug with 110 behind fridge...take more load off the 30 amper...maybe put coffee pot or microwave on that circuit too!!!...if you have room in that corner!!!. 

Btw thanks for the help with email accounts ..

That is so frustrating...dont see how you keep up your fervent efforts after so many years behind a keyboard...after 25 years...i hate working on that stuff!!!

Pura vida

Btw...i bought an aims 1200 watt pure sine wave inverter with built in transfer switch for 148 bucks on amazon  ...i use it to hold up my computers printers routers satellite system viop box 3g amps and microwave link to the relay station along with ceiling fan and lights in master bedroom when we have an outage ....i have it connected to a 100ah deep cycle battery and 5 amp automatic charger...the transfer switch is fast enough that nothing gets dumped when switching...i figure good for 6 to 10 hours...without printers running of course...

When you are ready we can do that in your office!!!...you already have battery backed up  bulbs for your house...no need for emergency lighting!!!
