New Pool Plan: Update 8/11

Update 8/11

We have plumbing… well, more than that. We have a big hole, walls and plumbing. I've held off posting some of the in-process photos here, although my FaceBook friends have seen a few stages along the way. The yard is starting to look like a serious construction zone with random stuff all over: clothing, rags, duct tape, rebar… you know, the fun stuff.

Bentley Electric

Today, Richard Bentley from Bentley Electric stopped by to install a new subpanel and hook up all of the electrical what-not in the pump-closet. I joked that I have more shots of people's backsides working in this room than most any other type of picture.

Because of the nature of electrical codes and pool installations, things need to be installed just right (and by a licensed electrician), so this was not a good DIY job. Liquid-tight connections and bonding can get a lot more complex than just running a new lighting circuit.

Pictures of very neatly run wires are only so exciting (so I'll hold off) and he's not yet finished, but so far the job is shaping up to be as clean as Glen's work in the same location. Richard is this side of the Caldecot, so if you need electrical work in the East East Bay, give him a shout — while he can't seem to bring himself to give up his 510 number (510.367.9247), he's right here in the 925.
