So yesterday I picked up the electrical permit from Manitoba Hydro. Now I can start wiring the basement - yay! It was far less painful and much quicker than I thought it would be. The guy (Dan) basically asked me if I had done anything like this before (I said I had an 8 week home wiring course under my belt). He then asked if there were any baseboard heaters going in (no). Then he made one suggestion: to put the gym on one circuit in case a future owner (or even us) decided to use it as a bedroom so an arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) could be installed easily.
Then it was a trip out to Teulon to buy the lumber for the deck. $805 later - including taxes - we were on our way. The only things needed for the deck now are the metal hangers and a day to put it up. There's no mistake that you're not shopping at a lumber yard in the city when you are in Teulon;-) Anywho not withstanding any deliverance type spiel here the cost was a bit higher than I calculated a couple days back since I didn't know the price of ceramic coated screws, or 2x10x12 lumber (1 piece) and delivery and didn't calculate taxes either.
We didn't get the basement permit yesterday because the RM Planning and Development office doesn't have interac and we didn't have the cash or cheque. Marla is going back on friday to pay for that. We were told that in the meantime we could start the wiring.
