Forgot just how much “fun” it is pulling electrical wire by yourself.  Spent much of the morning getting 55 feet of AWG 8-3 NMB wire from the wood planer outlet on the north wall of the shop over to the utility room electrical panel.  Had even more “fun” trying to cram three very stiff #8 plus a ground wire into the outlet box.  Good thing I’m strong like bull!  Most of the afternoon was spent revising the Electrical Plan (yet again) based on Thursday’s meeting with Glen Peck.  Once my brain and rear end were dead, decided to do some more wiring, having forgotten the morning’s pain already – the advantage of old age.  Ran AWG 10-2 NMB wire (marginally easier to work with than the 8-3) from the electric panel over to where one of the shop 110v outlets will be.  My radial arm saw will be a much happier camper once that outlet is operational.
