Wiring and Insulation

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

This week in preparation for my dad to return I began working on electrical wiring and insulation on outer walls. I first began by deciding where to put all my gang boxes for both electrical and stereo wiring. I also measured out and planned the location of the screen, projector, speakers and chairs.

I found some gang boxes that are depth adjustable. I am using these in all the locations that will behind the drywall and linacoustic combo. I used normal gang boxes in all the locations that will only be behind drywall. I also started figuring out what size conduit I need to run around the room for various stereo wires.

I also began placing the insulation on the outer walls. I did all the cavities that don't have wiring in them. Once I finish wiring I will add the insulation in those as well. I was kind of amazed how easy it was to do the insulation. I am not sure why I thought it would be hard. The insulation I bought comes with a vapor barrier attached, that way I don't have to worry about doing my own after ward.

I started running the electrical as well. I ran the circuit for the sconces and over to where the dimmer control will be. I also ran one circuit all the way back to the panel. I will extend that circuit for the chairs, arcade and just normal outlets.
