Outlets in walls.

Notice the extra amount of wire. There will be no need for an extension cord. I even busted out the level for this project, and GTG wonders why I get excited about tools.

Close up of the hole I made. I got GTG to stick her hand in there to pull up the wire. Talk about hilarious. She lasted for like 3 seconds.

I took the scroll saw to this hole to make it larger. It’s fun cutting plaster.

I should have put down a drop cloth but the Shop Vac works just as great. And we’re eventually going to get rid of this carpet.  This outlet does not have the built-in extension cord.

Note: I finished this project last weekend (all outlets work without shocking anyone). This coming weekend I will be working on the stairwell skate ramp.

    Nice work. Even though I have no idea what I am looking at. Can you install a garage door opener for my mom?

    Good work dude! Those look up to code and everything. Just make sure to wrap all of your splices in electrical tape, duct tape and tortilla wraps. Then seal with a strip of uncooked bacon.

    Uh, even I do, doofus. That was bizarre to say the least.

    P.s. I love how both Nattie and Betsy found it before I did. Apparently I don’t check your blog often enough.
