Sep 4, 5, & 6 Getting ready for electrical!

September 4, 201 

Back from "vacation" mode started on September 4th where we finished up some framing on some drainage pipe taking most of the day.  Work wasn't to difficult and took about 8 hours with some breaks for both of us.
Cost: 2x4s $30
         Soundproof insulation 1 bag $45 (for later use)
Time Spent: 2 man x 8 hrs.

September 5 & 6, 2012

Code in Canada dictates that putting pot lights where insulation is used needs to be separated or not in contact with insulation. To avoid putting expensive enclosures (about 30$ each) it was decided that after putting soundproof insulation it will be separated with plywood enclosures.  That way there is no added cost and some scrap plywood we had will be used up.

Roughly it was decided that for area of two main spaces there will be about 20 pot lights used, which would have needed about 20 enclosures.  Money saved about $600 :)
