Hay Shed Wiring

Right after Linda left to work at the school, Regina called and said she was OK. Her catheterization and stints being placed in her arteries had went well. That was nice to hear and a few minutes later, Nancy called and asked about Regina, so I relayed her condition to Nancy. A little later, Stacey and I went to town and stopped at the hardware store, where I bought 3 electrical boxes and 3 outlets and 1 switch and the plates to cover those. I also picked up some wire nuts and plastic wire staples to hold the wire in place. I fixed us lunch before I went to work on the electrical wiring job. I started where I had passed the wire under the wall of the hay shed and pulled the wire up to the level of the switch box I had nailed in place. I cut the wire and pulled it inside the box and wired an outlet and a switch for a light. The toughest part of the job was pressing all the wires into the double box with the switch and outlet. It felt like I needed a crowbar to get those wires inside and screw the outlet and switch into place. I continued from the other side of the outlet and strung the wire across the board that the shed siding is attached to over to the next pole. I installed another plastic outlet box and wired the outlet and continued to the next pole and the last box and outlet. Then I moved to the little house and took apart a light fixture on the back porch. I wired the supply end of the wire for the hay shed to the outlet and capped off the wires with wire nuts. I put the light fixture back in place and tried the circuit. The light worked on the back porch and the radio played inside the hay shed, so I was successful. The job took about three hours. I'll have to pick up a light for the hay shed later. Linda came home and fixed us dinner of pork chops and salad.
