Electric, Plumbing and Low Voltage

Uriah drove out late Sunday and found that the electrician had been there working all weekend.  He estimates one more day of wiring and the whole house should be done.  Unfortunately that meant that it was our turn to get back to work.  Uriah volunteered us to do all the low voltage wiring for the house, so everyday this week we have gotten up early, headed to the ranch and worked all day.

These black pipes are the gas lines.
 
 
 
Uriah has been the one with the plan and also the one doing all the hard work.  I've just been the assistant handing him things and keeping the wires straight.  Uriah is great with planning and logistics.  He has every wire, for everything, all mapped out (speakers, alarms, telephone, infra-red, etc), it's quite impressive.


 
When we opened our large, heavy box of Coaxial cable, we found the plastic mechanism that allows the coil to unwind smoothly, was badly broken.  So, never being one to give up easily, I made my own device out of left over lumber and nails lying around.
 

 
My job was to label every line with it's origin so we can wire them without loosing our minds later.
 

 
The white wires are for the alarm system.  Look at all of them, and that is only half of the first floor.  It was incredibly humid today, Uriah is soaked from head to toe but proud of his hard work.
