With the rough wiring in, it was now time to hook it all up to some circuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
I ran the wires quite long to give myself options for where the wires would enter the box.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First I had to organize, double check and in some cases re-label each incoming line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
I ended up with a total of 30 circuits, most of which are home-runs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I carefully labeled each line inside the box as I hooked them up using a special tubular label tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
The light above the panel became quite useful in finishing the rest of the panel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I then tidied the incoming lines and tried to ensure they won’t lay to close to the drywall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
There are 2 breaker spots that aren’t in use. I’m not sure when or why, but I expect these may one day come in handy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I made custom label stickers for each circuit, including coding to indicate which leg of power they are on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
In these tight spaces, I had to remove some of the closed-cell foam just to get the boxes to fit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once everything was wired up, I flipped the breakers and it worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
There are two track-light runs toward the center of the loft ceiling and six recessed lights toward the sides.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m currently just using temporary bulbs, and in the case of track lights temporary bulb fixtures as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
There is one long L-shaped track-light run around the outside edge of the lobby ceiling and eight recessed lights near the sides.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It really helped make dark areas nicer to work in already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
There’s also some long track-light runs in the live room, but with just one bulb in each for now, it feels quite dark on that side.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With the work lights off, you can get a sense of how the lighting makes the space feel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
