How exciting. It is a good thing you have to work so hard at it, or you wouldn't sleep for the excitement of it all. You should be very good a wiring by the end.
Good for you. I am so inspired with your progress and efforts that as I begin some simply changes and upgrades I keep checking here for sources and ideas!
Rural Aspirations - My mom and step-dad have done a lot of wiring around their place, so they've been sharing their wisdom (and the BC electrical code book has been our late night reading for weeks now!).
Cheryl It looks good. Coming right along. Just think of all that equity you are building by doing some of the work yourself---you'll retire sooner :-D Monica
Oh yes,we bought some scaffolding on line to do some of our work and are REALLY glad we did. Much more convenient than renting. I don't know if they sell in your area but here is who we used and they were well priced and shipped on time:http://www.badgerladder.com/ Lucky you if you can borrow it---we couldn't.
I'm an avid gardener, food lover, cookbook hoarder, and environmentalist. After years of biding our time in the city, waiting for the chance to move to the country and live out our rural dream, we're finally in the process of building a "not so big house" on a gorgeous acre and a half just outside the city. We're planning to do much of the work ourselves, and are using as many "green" and or recycled materials as possible.
Living on one income in order to homeschool our two children has given us a keen interest in what it takes to live frugally, and has led us to growing as much of our own food as possible, as well as making most of what we eat from scratch. We're discovering that, more often than not, living frugally and living sustainably go hand in hand.
