plthijinx · 02-28-2011, 10:29 PM

alright. here is the progress made over the weekend. the shower is tiled and we are now grouting with non-sanded grout. i like the contrast from the shower floor to the wall..what do you think? also i mounted the light that goes over the vanity as well. floor tile in too.

It's early, and I'm not a morning person. I just went googling to figure out what "blub out" meant. I figured it must be an industry term.

I thought blubbing in reference to the pubble of water, then considered the source......

I love that tile in the shower! I will have to remember that when I build my next house.

plthijinx · 03-03-2011, 10:12 PM

i;ve been getting home late working 12 hour plus sometimes days building panels. here is where paul is with the bathroom... i particularly like the tile, like merc, and the paint scheme. still a lot more to go but he;s making the best progress he can without me there to help him....

plthijinx · 03-03-2011, 10:21 PM

now here;s what i;ve been up to all week. i could bitch slap the designer that designed these panels. they left out several key electrical components in the drawings that set us back a days work. see, they knew that they had the parts to go in the panel but did not allow for space. we had to remount the wire ways, called panduit in this case - the manufacturer, and terminal strip din rails - the metal thingies that the terminal blocks, fuses and other components fasten to on the back plate. anyway, here are some pics today while i was wiring panel #1. started it after lunch and am almost finished with it. another wireman needed the drawings i had to complete his panel so i gave him them and started on panel #3.

plthijinx · 03-03-2011, 10:34 PM

oh, and as far as the pretty wire colors? black in this case is 480 volt, red is 120, blue is 24 vdc, white is 120 neutral, and white/blue 24 neg. oh and green is ground.
