I applied a couple of coats of paint to the last two support posts but other than that I spent the day re-wiring the pergola. I took a trip to Home Depot to purchase some supplies, came home and started re-installing the electrical outlet only to realize I forgot a couple of parts. I had to drive back to Home Depot for a second time today to purchase some brackets .I finally put everything together.
Then I turned on the low voltage lights to test them and immediately started seeing smoke. After examining the situation I realized that by coincidence, one of the screws I used to attach the electrical conduit went through one of the wires that I had installed in the post, shorting it out. So I had to rip the remaining wiring out of the post, re-install new low voltage wiring, and then re-wire the transformer.
After that I had to apply wood putty to hid the new wiring.
