Not quite.

Today wasn't as rainy as yesterday, but not nice enough to dry things out.  I got a late start, courtesy of my washer.  It decided that the drain hose didn't want to be in the sink anymore, and dumped a bunch of water.  Of course I was running all my towels, so I didn't have anything to clean it up with.  I ended up using an old workshirt.  Grumble. 

One of my coworkers had a project trailer that he didn't have time for anymore, and he only wanted 30 bucks for it, so I snagged it.  I don't have a dump cart for my lawn mower, which is likely this trailer's future.


After that I went up and continued work on the electric.  I got the box mounted flush against the wall, and started wiring it up.  I got everything but the grounds and the neutral wired up, since both needed extra hardware I didn't have.  I had forgotten how much of a pain in the neck 2AWG wire was. 


I drilled some extra holes so that there was less strain on the wires, and realized that I have a problem.  The only tool I have while I have no power is my drill, and the battery is dying.  The problem is that I have no idea where the charger is.  It got packed into a tote, but I don't know which one.  Ugh.  At least I shouldn't need it before power is working again.  There should be enough juice left to mount the other box which is the last thing before power is restored.


I also ran the ground wire.  It was a mess, so I cleaned it up a little too. 


After that I made a Home Depot run.  The sun actually came out while I was there, but it was too late to make much of a difference, other than being nice, since it hasn't been seen in a while.  I headed back up even though it was getting late at that point.  Turns out the neutral adapter I got was the wrong kind, but I at least got the ground bar installed.


On the Home Depot run I inquired about the hot water heater, he said I could order it and when it comes in they would call a contractor.  So it is ordered. 

As Dad commented on the last post, Tractor Supply sells 100lb tanks of propane, which is a good backup plan.  I think I will call a couple of places on Monday and find out who other people use.  See what kind of lead time I would be looking at.  I would like to have the propane in place before the hot water is installed, but the electric is the top priority. 

I don't consider ordering the hot water starting that task, so no movement on the checklist.
