A low flying eagle over Pentoga Road

Pentoga Road

Today's upload will be about as interesting as reading the dictionary. It's all about electricity.

After arriving home from my morning stroll Thursday morning, I found myself in the new addition surrounded by boxes, outlets, switches, and wire. 

The simple process of installing all the above isn't difficult, it's just time consuming, especially when trying to tie it into an existing structure.

I wanted to reroute a few outlets onto a different circuit in the old shop. I'm not sure what I was thinking of several years ago when I built the shop, but I've often wished I'd have done several things differently. There was no time like the present.

It was late in the afternoon before I finished everything. Feel good? You bet! After climbing the ladder a few dozen times, I was ready to call it a day.

Sargie wasn't home until past eight last night. The autobody man, Don, called yesterday and said the parts were in for the Kia and if we could have it there first thing this morning, he would get busy repairing the deer damage. We decided to drop it off in town last night.

Sargie's off today, but will attend a funeral in Crystal Falls. I'm heading out the door as soon as I'm finished writing to begin hanging the insulation, my least favorite job. I hope to get into town later to purchase the wall and ceiling coverings and begin to get that installed. It would be nice to have the shop finished this weekend so I can move onto the garden and pond and get those ready for the season ahead.

One of my goals for this coming week is to have the pond ready and filled and the goldfish moved outside. You may remember their winter home has been a fifty gallon tote in the basement.

Time to shake, rattle, and roll.

After all, a man's work is never done.

So are the tales from Pentoga Road...
