Finishing the Electrical and Plumbing (March 10-11)

Sicker than a dog last weekend, so we took a break. We hired an electrician to wire up two pumps, hydraulic pump, and filtration system. Took him the better part of two days to finish the work. Then, we went to on the plumbing and finish work.

We lucked out. The distance from under the coping to the deck is just under 36" - and wainscoting comes in 36" lengths. Glue and 1" brads at the top...

and at the bottom. The long wall was a snap!

Figuring out how to hide the front end mechanicals and leave doors open at the back end won't be quite so easy.

The electrician is done - just waiting for the inspection. He ran a 100 amp subpanel from the main panel to the area near the shed. This is the hydraulic pump.

More pumps. The black pump on the shelf is the 1hp pump for the hydrotherapy jets. The equipment on the lower level is the electric heater, filter, and 3/4 hp pump for the water filtration system.

Still working on the system to keep the roof up when working inside. Found the sun reflecting off the white roof made for a very bright bedroom!
