Web and app developer. Coffee, beer, and running, in any order.
Today the HVAC guys came and started routing the new ducts for the basement, and the electrician continued his work. It looks like neither of them are done yet.
I figured the end of the week was a good time for general update photos, too.
Basement project week 3 day 3: the electrician started wiring outlets and switches
When we bought this house 5 years ago, we did it with the intention of finishing the basement. That is currently underway. Here’s what has happened so far.
I replaced our anode rod just yesterday. The first time I replaced it at this house (5 years ago), the one I removed was completely eaten away to the bare wire.
Two things about owning a home that no one told me:
The filters in the hood vent over the range? They need to be cleaned somewhat regularly. Ours pop out and go in the dishwasher.
The hot water tank has a rod in it that helps delay the rusting of the tank. It’s called an anode rod and should be replaced every 3 to 5 years. Doing so extends the life of the tank.
