Garage
Original (1963)
- Garage had access to two interior 15A circuits. Neither were dedicated to the garage, did not make any sense, & were a nuisance when using power tools.
New (2019)
Square D QO 100-Amp Sub-Panel
North & East walls each have access to dedicated 20A circuits for power tools
- An additional dedicated 20A circuit was ran for the wall-mounted VacuMaid GV-30 in Blue with a 50 foot hose.
- Garage is now setup for two electric car charging stations
Data Center
- Two, 20A dedicated circuits ran to separate positions where two, wall-mounted 18U server racks will be installed.
Exterior
New GFCI outlets with weatherproof boxes installed on North & East walls to support a new low-voltage landscape transformer & power tools.
- Will continue going around the exterior of the home in 2020 to replace all exterior outlets
Landscape
Old (1963)
We had a lamp post in the middle of our rear landscape/retaining wall on a dedicated circuit.
- I did digging/exploration with the electricians on-site, & we determined this is not safe to use going forward. No grounding present & may not even have conduit all the way.
New (2019)
- Removed broken lamp post
- Installed & cemented 6x6x6’ Cedartone post.
Future (2020)
- Install new grounded, direct burial circuit to this position
- We will be installing an L-com 18x16x8 Inch 120VAC Black Weatherproof Enclosure w/Solid State Cooling Fan Controller (NBB181608-10FS) on the 6x6 Cedartone post.
