I then ran conduit down one of the joists and left the wires spooled at the end. I need to install the rim joist before I can place the electrical outlet.
While I was at it, I pulled low voltage wiring for use with deck lights and front yard lights we plan to install later.
I pulled wire to the back fence where we planned to store firewood so that we can have some light back there in case we're looking through stuff we planned to store there.
Finally, I use some paint stripper to try to clean up one of the bolts on the post that I removed yesterday. I want to unscrew the nut and replace it as decoration once I reinstall the wood board but I couldn't get it off because of the years of paint on it.
After removing the paint, I discovered that someone must have bashed the threads in with a hammer 25 or 30 years ago. That was what was keeping the nut from coming off. I pulled out a file and tried to file down the threads but no use.
Tomorrow I'll have to pull out the Dremel and cut the end of the bolt off to see if that works.
