Wiring Time
Mar. 17th, 2023 08:15 pmIn order to make proper use of the "studio lights" we bought a few weeks ago for Railway Legends, Myths, and Stories, Lisa wanted to install a switched outlet in the ceiling. This will allow her to mount the lights up there and get them aimed the way she wants them, and then when we're going to record, she can just flip the switch without having to spend a bunch of time setting up lights. This afternoon after I finished with Day Jobbe for the weekend, we set out to to the wiring.
( Wires, Wires Everywhere )
Lisa turned the circuit breaker back on and tested both the rewired light fixture and the new outlet, and everything is in order. Once we have more electrical face plates and the mounting hardware for the studio lights, she'll finish the installation. She thanked me for my help handing her tools and parts, disposing of discarded pieces of wire insulation and conduit packaging, and otherwise serving as an electrician's assistant. The saved her a lot of time because she didn't have to keep climbing up and down the ladder.
Cleaning all of the computer wiring, the table, the area underneath and around the desk, and putting all of the computers, wiring, monitors, etc. back into place took around as long as the wiring project did. I'll have more to say about the computers and monitors tomorrow.
