Today wasn't too glamorous. We went to Home Depot to purchase some materials for the insulation of an electrical outlet and low voltage lighting on the deck. I bought PVC tubing, wiring, and outlets.
We did some demolition work as well. I had to rip some of the decorative wood off of the post on the porch to see what was behind it. There was a lot of termite damage.
I also removed some of the low voltage wiring that was installed over 25 years ago. We're going to replace it with a new setup that helps light our new porch and surrounding areas. We hope to go deck wood shopping tomorrow and maybe complete the electrical portion of the project early next week.
Taking the facia wood off the post was harder than I thought. I ended up using a circular saw to make multiple horizontal cuts at the depth of the coverwood itself so I can pry it off the post . I also had to use a sawzall to cut through some nails. I broke a hammer handle during the project.
Michelle is shopping for new low voltage light fixtures.
