The feather light.

The annual hanging of the Christmas wreath.

Good-bye fuses...hello circuit breakers.

End of year sparkly light. Happy New Year!

Today’s service call was for no power to any of the outlets in the bedroom. Why? Failed connection in a hidden junction box. Found and repaired. The power is back on. Moral of the story: make good connections and never hide them.

The house on Toll Rd is finished, the customer is happy, and the permit is closed.

Today’s service call: no power in two adjacent motel rooms. Long story short, I found a very important junction box hidden behind the mirror in one of the bathrooms. Problem solved and the lights are back on. Lesson of the day: things happen, so don’t hide junction boxes.

What is hidden inside the ceilings and walls?

A tree fell on the power lines and pulled the service off the house. Now there’s a new service in its place.

A cautionary tale: if you have aluminium wiring you need to be extra vigilant about all connections and devices. The customer had no lights in a bedroom, bathroom or hallway and some of the receptacles weren’t working; well I guess not. Always use approved material suitable for aluminium conductors and ensure they’re installed properly.

Before and after. New showroom lighting

Panel change in Holland Landing: out with the old in with the new.

Replacing builder lights. Now that looks better. :)

Repaired the lights up in the church bell tower. LED lamps should last for a long time.

Perhaps, there should be a built-in return strategy when these items are purchased, such as a deposit. Imagine hockey teams fundraising by going door to door collecting CFL's.

New underground service going in. Step 1 - Install the duct.

Not sparkly, but definitely cool. Donleigh customers make great fixture choices. :)

More sparkly lights :)

More kitchen island light fixtures. I don't pick them, I just install them. Pretty cool though.

Very cool island light fixture. When I went to install it I discovered there was no junction box, so it took a little extra effort.

100A to 200A Service Upgrade.

Toll Road Project - The Service 200A underground service finished

Fixing the outside lights in Leslieville.

Install a dryer vent? Sure, I can do that.

Basement pot lights-nice and bright.

Service repair: PVC conduit broken due to ground movement fixed.

Aluminum / copper wiring connections, the melter of wire nuts.

Service passed. 60A 600V c/w a 15 KVA stepdown transformer and a 120/208V 3phase 4wire panel.

Panel change, fuses to breakers.
