25-05-08 Pre-wiring

This weekend I had hoped to get all the pre-wiring done and also fit some Insulco Acousti-therm batts for some of the rooms.
Well you know what they say… “The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry”

On Sat I got out to the house nice and early just as the sun was trying to get through the fog.
A good friend had kindly offered to come out and help and we were able to:
- install all the cables for the video intercoms
- install CAT5e data cables to all bedrooms, rumpus, family, study and games room
- install all the Home Theatre cables and speaker wires

The plan for Sun was to go out reasonably early again and knock off any remaining wiring, install the power packs for the Video intercoms and install the wall batts.
Started the car and I had no power steering – Damn! 3 hrs later after I had removed the offending part, sourced a new one and fitted it, I was back on the road to the house.
With the remaining day I was able to finish off the wiring which by the way had grown overnight as Lou had requested a few additional power points throughout the house (Did I say 'a few'?).

At this stage I will probably fit the batts next weekend after the inspection which is due this Thu/Fri.

Many thanks Sean for you help! No doubt we will be calling on you sometime in October :-)

Sorry folks, no photos this time.
