PM sent. Thanks!
Do you ever get down to Southern MD?
Geez, Norton, what's wrong with your house? The amount of time he's taking on it indicates that it's a project for the ages...

I'm a busy man....
and electric perimeter fences take time to install.
Yep, and by the time Steve is done with your place will look like a giant bug zapper.
squirrel in yard ... phhhhttt
dog in yard ... PHHHHTTT
criminal in yard ... PHHHTTT ... ZZZZZZZ ... Steve, I'm gonna need a bigger panel.
So you're saying the 1,000 watt service isn't adequate?
Dont have access to a basket lift by any chance. I need ballasts and bulbs most likely replaced in a pole sign.

sskijr said:I don't.... one could be rented. How high does the lift have to go?
Once again, thanks for the work, and nice comments guys....
OK.....1000 >AMP< panel ....sheesh, some people throwing out that Ohm's law card on a brother
.
That reminds me of the story that I tell the kids about the band director in Texas that stabbed one of the flute players in the eye with his baton because she talked too much in rehearsal.
Naturally, being Texas and all, he was sentenced to the electric chair.
On the day of the execution, they strapped him into the chair and asked if he had any last words. Having none, they threw the switch.......and nothing happened.
They tried three more times and on each nothing happened.
Expressing astonishment that their electric chair had failed so miserably, the staff heard the band director say, "It's not your chair boys. I was always a lousy conductor."
I'd like to thank Steve for doing a GREAT job at my home today.
If you're looking for someone who will do a professional job for a good price-Steve is certainly the one to call.
Some of the work involved working in "sensitive" areas (gun room), so I didn't feel comfortable with just any local electrician working unsupervised. It's good to know we have skilled tradesmen in our community we can call upon
Thanks, Steve!
Just want to reiterate to y'all that if you don't call sskijr to do your work, you're missing out.
Steve just rolled out a couple hours ago after about a total of 5 solid days of work upgrading nearly every aspect of our electrical needs.
New service panel and service upgrade.
generator interlock,
marked emergency circuits for generator usage
cleaned up the circuit layout in the box to remove the tandem breakers
9 new recessed lighting fixtures,
two new interior wall receptacles,
two new exterior receptacles,
new circuit for future work in another room in the basement,
a new dedicated circuit and outlet for the sump pump,
retrofitted GFCI into the bathroom,
generator plug-in from outside,
new cable TV run,
cleaned up existing cable TV and internet plug ins
tidied up former owner's shoddy cable runs that had too many junction boxes,
installed new stove wire to replace one that was hazardous looking
replaced a cable that had been sliced open and hidden behind wall.
The one that takes the cake is the hot wire that was just laying in the ceiling, that wasn't connected to anything. That was closely followed by the 3-gang switch box that was wired improperly and was back feeding the circuit.
It took a lot of sleuth work to get that all worked out.
Steve doesn't cut any corners on his work and watching him lay out those lights and fish the wires to the outside receptacles was evidence of his skill.
Phase two starts tomorrow with the drywall man coming to get the walls buttoned back up.
Thanks Steve!
