Electrical fun

Today we had our electrician, Paul, come over and do some pre-wiring for us. He installed the wiring for a ceiling fan in our bedroom and the wiring for a spotlight on our back porch.

He put the hookup for the ceiling fan right in the middle of our bedroom, which will have the fan closer to the foot of our bed. That's probably a good thing since it'll make Ariane cold!

Here's the hookup:










The light switch panel got an upgrade as well. Instead of just the one switch that turned on power to the outlets for our lamps, there are now three switches. One for the outlets/lamps, one for the fan, and one for the light on the fan.











It's going to be good to have a ceiling fan finally in the bedroom! Can't wait for that! And the spotlight will be good for security as well as providing light when grilling!!

Here's the pre-wiring for the spotlight on the back porch:










He did a really nice job wiring it in and making it really clean-looking. Now to find a light for it ... UPDATE: Found a great ceiling fan!
