Electrical



I ran a new circuit from the breaker panel. I wanted lots of power in the lab, so I got some heavier duty wiring (red heater wire) and a 20 amp breaker. Coreen and the kids were watching a movie so — wearing rubber gloves and runners, standing on a plastic stool, and keeping one hand behind my back — I popped the new breaker in without shutting the main breaker off. I can't decide if that was really clever or particularly stupid.


The old circuit didn't just end at the lamp fixture; it continued on to power other things. So I removed the fixture and tied the circuit together in a junction box.


First light for the new circuit!
