Played amateur electrician all morning, moving the low voltage transformer over to the top of the walkway, putting another circuit breaker into the electrical subpanel, then moving some existing wires in the subpanel so that I can bring a ½″ conduit into it for the waterfront electric line. In the process, salvaged 80 feet of 12-2 landscape wire, which is more than enough for what remains to be wired on the lower end of the walkway. Installed the deck boards on the 16 feet of the last walkway section that were ready for same. Tammy, aka Ms. Doubting Walsh, came over late afternoon, whereupon I had her drive my Tacoma from down by the lake up to the top of the hill. Praise be, Tammy has seen the light and joined the ranks of the believers! Lake temperature is 66° and it was a fairly sweaty day, so took the first dip of the season, even though a thunderstorm came rolling through just as I was about to get in the water. Nothing ventured, nothing zapped, that’s my motto, i.e., the water was brisk enough that a little electrical warming would have felt good. Survived to tell the tale… and, after a two octave acclamation period, the swimming was delightful. Mosquito control spray truck driver remembered to come down the Triangle Square Circle driveway. She requested that we install a big turnaround circle when we build the house…
