Dumpster fires & wild wire

So I had a, a pleasant surprise when I started working on my building.

I, um, I was dreading running this, uh, electrical wire for the CNCs and for all the big machines and everything.

And then I told Dave, I was like, "All right, lift me up into the attic access and, uh, we'll see what's going on up there." So this building, it must be a structural thing because it's such a wide building.

So it's 60 feet wide, 60 wide by 80 deep, and they put plywood sheeting above the drywall.

So it, it has to be structural.

It must be.

There must have been a rule for it.

And it's treated.

It's like pressure treated, uh, plywood.

Not that I would walk on it, right? Because I don't think it, it's good to walk on.

But they did put a walkway through the entire middle section of the shop, so it...

Up there.

So if you have to walk from one end of the attic access, which is all the way in the back of the building, you can walk all the way to the front of the building, and there's like a four-foot wide, uh, uh, gangway up there, so you can get up there.

And, and, uh, this week has been all about electrical.

Last week we were running air, so we got the air done, and then this week we're dropping...

What I'm doing is service entrance cable to all my subpanels.

And, uh, the thing is though, is it's very-- the building is very well insulated, so there's blown-in insulation.

So wherever you're walking, it looks like you're walking through snow, and you can't really quite tell, you know, what you're stepping on, so you have to be really careful.

Hmm.

And, um, but this morning, before I got on the podcast, Dave and I went down there.

This has been our thing.

When we have to run cable up there, we go out at like 6:00 in the morning and, uh, get in the attic because it's cooler up there.

I almost needed a jacket, it was that nice up there.

I mean, it was really nice.

So today we ran the final, uh, piece of service entrance cable, uh, which is like heavy duty cable in, in this case because we're running 100 amp service, uh, or 100 amp subpanels, uh, to the CNCs and to like the big presses and stuff.
