Electrified, Mesmerised, Gentrified.

Some things have been difficult to take pictures of because our camera is a point and shoot. Without a wide angle, I cant fit in the images that span the width of the unit. Below is a collage to show the connecting wires. Bill the electrician and his son Ben the electrician visited last Tuesday. The messiest and most intensive part of the day was the routing. This was to allow for new cables to reach new power points. Bill and Ben wired above the rondo ceiling before we lay the plasterboard. This made the job much easier.


The work that will be completed...

1. The old, original power box will be replaced and moved to the cabinet above the rangehood. (Yet to be installed.)
2. Two new lights, (one above the bookshelves and one above the sink) will be installed.
3. Installation of the oven, cooktop and rangehood.
4. Disconnecting and reconnecting the electric hot water system.
5. Replacing the lounge, kitchen and bedroom light fittings and light switches.
6. A new power point the kitchen.
7. Moving the fridge power point so it is behind the fridge.
8. A new power point on the long wall for our hifi and record player.

Pete made this wooden wrap for the light in the bedroom and is making the same for the kitchen and lounge. Our bedroom light weighs about 10 kilos so we need the strength of the concrete to drill the screws into.
