WOW everyone must be at York!

Well I finished off the wiring today on the elevated loop so I guess I can say it is done.

 I ran 35' of 14 gauge feeder line to 3 lockons one on the center of each loop and one in the center of the straight that connects them. I used 18 gauge 12" drops from the lockons to the 14 gauge feeder lines. Why, because you can't hardly get 14 gauge stranded into a lockon, too big. So it runs very well and does not slow on the far end from the ZW like it did with only one power drop. I also used power junction blocks at the drops from the feed so I can add extra lockons if need be. I Put a 10 amp auto reset breaker at the ZW in the feed line so it should be good. Then I hooked back up some lights and other accessories I had to move for the placement of the elevated level.

One thing for sure, rolling around under that table on the creeper gets old fast on this 64 year old body.

 

I am beat.
