Progress…

Well, it’s been a while, eh? Things have slowed down a bit with so many other events going on. My main focus has been to get all the electrical equipment roughed in for the layout. Because I have terribly outdated and worn electrical supply lines I have to have some electrical work done to the house. Namely, a heavy-up. I’m going from 100AMP to 200AMP some time in the near future. In the meantime, I purchased some romex cable, junction boxes, flourescent “shop” fixtures, switches, outlets and other parts to rough in.

A big progression for my layout took place yesterday when some land distribution talks with my better half went well and I was able to obtain use of the entire room (YEAH!) in exchange for most of an upstairs room. So, my layout plan will most likely be changing from a 2 level w/ helix to a 1 level w/o helix. I will post more as it happens.

Yesterday I ripped out the remainder of beams from around the HVAC & water heater and also cleaned up the room a bit. I still have a bunch of prep left to do, but I’m getting closer every day.
