The floor is almost done! Â It's been a lot of work. Â Low work. Â Don't need to do squats next time I hit the gym kind of work. Â I mentioned in my previous post that pulling up a floorboard and putting it back down is a pretty quick process. Â I was right. Â And I'm really, really good at it by now. Â I don't know how many times I've put a floorboard down and then realized a half hour later that I still needed one last thing in there. Â
Â
I also realized that even the slip joints on the adjustable elbows need to be sealed or I'll be losing pressure throughout the entire system. Â That caused me to go back and tape up all of the first parts of the ducting I put down. Â
Â
Of course, while I'm doing the duct work, I'm running electrical wires as well. Â That's the easy part. Â In the photo above, you can see the trough right in the middle that I built that has open junction boxes laid out in it. Â It's right in the middle of the floor where I don't have any machines planned to cover it up. Â If I need to get in there, all the boxes are in one place.
Â
Don't mess with electrical stuff if you're not familiar with it. Â Don't mess with electrical stuff if you don't have a current tester. Â If you're not sure about something, play it safe and call a licensed electrician. Â
Â
Ductwork AND electrical? Â The vision is becoming a reality.
