House Project: Part 9

In these photos, you can see that I have advanced in the wiring. Once I completed a circuit with my mentor, I got the hang of "piggybacking" which is completing circuits from box to box. Most people look at this and see just a bunch of wires. Thanks to this experience, I see a living room, dining room, bathroom, and master bedroom all complete with wiring that is up to code.

You can see that I started to measure out the BMX cord for the boxes. In these pictures, I only have two box wires leading out. One my mentor did for me and one I did by myself.

House Project: Part 7

Here you can see that we finished cutting out all of the boxes and started putting in some of the receptacle boxes. 

House Project: Part 6

Here you can see that Mr. Caputo and I built a wood stand for the project. Here we have almost all of the receptacle boxes out, but we still had a few more to drill out at this point.

House Project: Part 5

Here you can see we have cut out all of the boxes. My mentor used a wood saw to cut out each box.

House Project: Part 4

These are some plans Mr. Caputo and I drew before we started wiring the board. He wanted to show me how to wire the house on paper before we started the physical wiring.

House Project: Part 3

In these two photos, you can see a drill my mentor and I used to drill out the receptacle boxes. We drilled out all the markings so we could use a saw and cut out the pieces of wood.

House Project: Part 2

 

Here you can see that we outlined a common house layout. We both had an idea of what was going on the board.
