The sunrise found us on the last portion of our trip east on I-40 before we turned south on the 89.
My first task was to tear into a part of the camps old electrical system that I had mentioned before To really assess how to make it better, safer, and something that at least resembles code compliance. It’s a doozy.
Once I spent a day tearing this mess and more apart and mapping it all out, I built a plan and parts list to remedy it, and sent the parts list off to be filled by our wholesale house.
Then it was on to the next task-removing some old outdated solar panels off of the roof of one of the buildings
As usual, there was some rather unpleasant looking wiring.
And some, uh, creative wiring. 🙄
I doubt this roof jack ever really sealed well. 🙄
Once that mess was removed, it was on to the next task.
And with that we were back in the lighting retrofit business, as the lower camp need a bunch of lighting repairs and upgrades.
Here’s one of about ten little cabins we did.
Before:
After complete swaps to new LED fixtures:
Then there was this gem that lights their amphitheater/fire pit area:
We got rid of the indoor rated junction boxes and fittings and replaced the little worn out fixtures with something way better.
These work great and really light up this pretty spot.
Then there were these ball field lights.
There was a lot to not like here, the least of which were all the angry hornets that were unhappy with their winter slumber spot being destroyed and their being awakened. 😬😬
After swatting and squashing hornets, we removed the indoor rated boxes and old metal halide fixtures and replaced them with hornet-proof outdoor boxes and fittings, and nice new LED fixtures. They work great!
And by that time, the long week was over, and late Friday afternoon we drug our tired asses home for a little rest.
