Earlier that day, Taylor, our son-in-law who is between semesters, finished linking the new smoke-detector circuits put in downstairs with the original detectors installed in this house. This had to be accomplished by finishing connecting a 14/3 with ground cable I had run from the storage room up to the garage attic for hooking into the one over the living room. We relocated that one because it was always going off when we cooked.

And, it was necessary to stack all the crap out of the shop into the garage.

There's some stuff we'll just have to tippy-toe around...

A really big concern is the electricity. It had been done a bit pêle-mêle up to now in preparation for several, sometimes conflicting ideas. Here are some sneak peaks at what's going on either side of the door and elsewhere there's complicated stuff. Finally, the diagram itself.

Now let's "rock"...

...and "roll" (paint, that is). Okay, so we screwed up big time picking the colors. It's what happens when a man with a junior high art education goes to the paint store unaided. I call it my "Blue Angels" room. Others have called it the "Pack Meeting." I painted the concrete stem wall grey and the floor sky-blue.

A Herculean effort to finish up: the baseboards, the air filtration system and the dust collection system. We start moving in...

When the iProvo man comes, here's the wall between the shop and the freezer area where we want the fibre fed into. The red PEX pipe just holds our place; we'll be able to push some fish tape through and pull it inside.
