Yes, it is hot. Humid, and hot. Sunny and hot. So I’m out working in it… The highest I saw in the shade yesterday was 95F at the dock, with a cooler breeze off the water. The sun was hotter by a lot. I struggled to stay hydrated, but at least the humidity was only 50%RH. That helped quite a bit.
I did get a bunch of work done on the new electrical for the dock and dock house. Got the conduit and wire in for the little house, that was run as feeder without breakers. It’s two circuits in conduit now, with breakers (when I get them installed.) Got the feeder conduit and wire installed. Got the panel mounted. Brought two existing circuits into the panel.
I still have to install breakers and land the circuits. I need to add a box and some romex to straighten out the lighting circuit before connecting it, and I need to install a circuit for the sprinkler controller and the pump motor circuit. Once I get all that done, I’ll change the fused disconnect for a breaker/disconnect and power up to see what I’ve got…
I’ll admit that late in the afternoon, the sun and heat did get to me a bit. I was banging my head against a wall trying to get my fish tape through the conduit and it just wouldn’t go. I finally just cut the pipe near where the tape stopped and jiggled the tape past the binding spot. Should have done that sooner, but I wasn’t 100% at that point. Took a break and cooled down. Felt more rational after that.
It was a long day and I spent it entirely doing electrical. Running the conduit under the dock and around existing obstacles took much longer than it should have. Working in the heat just takes longer too.
Today the rest of the pack arrives at some point, and I’ll probably take a short break when that happens. Otherwise, I’ll be doing electrical work.
Always be working… and stacking…
