Electrical (and cable) prep<\/p><\/div>\n

Our shed will be arriving soon – sometime in February, I think.\u00a0 It will be plopped down on our site with no additional foundation work.\u00a0 Four of the six hurricane tie-down points will be on pavers and two will be on grass.\u00a0 I was initially concerned about this, thinking that the corner on grass might be vulnerable to settling.\u00a0 And I might be right about that, but it seems to not be an issue for everyone else – the majority of the sheds in the park have one corner or more sitting on grass.\u00a0 Besides, it is just a shed, so if I need to jack it up a bit I can do it myself with the 10-ton hydraulic jack that I carry with me wherever we go.<\/p>\n

But some other prep work was needed.\u00a0 We had to get the electric service run from the pedestal (and meter) on the right side of the site over to the left side, near where the shed will be.\u00a0 We are going to need electricity in the shed.\u00a0 More electricity than we need in the RV.\u00a0 The shed will be wired for 80 amps or more while the RV has only 50.\u00a0 The power is needed for the washer\/dryer, the A\/C and the on-demand water heater.<\/p>\n

Our GC, Roger, said that a conduit is typically run under the site before the concrete is poured in anticipation of this.\u00a0 But because our site was modified to have pavers instead of concrete and because the pavers were extended to be as wide as possible – wider than the typical concrete pad – he was concerned that he would have to dig up some pavers to find the end of the conduit.\u00a0 Dollar signs started running through my head.\u00a0 Fortunately, that turned out to be unnecessary as the marker for the end of the conduit was found hidden under a bush.<\/p>\n

So Roger ran wire through the conduit and extended the conduit to the location where the back left corner of the shed will land.\u00a0 He also ran the TV cable from the pedestal, through the bushes to the same location.\u00a0 I was puzzled why he did this as I have no intention of watching TV in the shed.\u00a0 But he said that residents typically put their cable TV modem and wireless routers in the shed.\u00a0 Makes sense.\u00a0 I am glad he took the initiative.<\/p>\n

Maybe I can mount my third TV on the outside of the shed…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
