2nd room electrical installation

If the ceiling is already being made, the electrical installation also had to be done, because if everything is insulated,
in retrospect, it will be quite difficult to force incoming cables through the roof.

The plaster season starts...

Since it was 28-32 degrees, there was only 1 minute left to process the gypsum after each mixing ...

I could barely wash the tools to keep them usable later.

Slowing down the curing process a bit, I sifted some sand out of the finer gravel and mixed it in half with the gypsum.

Thus, the plaster set was barely half a minute slower. - And for the tools.

The part above the electric clock cabinet also had to be dismantled for the sake of future cables ...

I also cut the adobe wall with a diamond disc as no one else will take it anyway.

The next day I pulled the cables into place.

I gutted the box on the old electric meter. Unfortunately, it was made of 2 pieces, its door hung, etc ... and that would hold the wall above it.

So I’d rather remove and build another one instead. It's a miracle that the wall didn't falled down ...

I had to dismantle the adobe bricks and concrete ugliness because it wasn’t very stable and stuck out of the plane.

I will make the top of the new box from 7.5 cm beams to hold something from the weight of the wall.

I screwed the sides together with steel plates, the other places made the box with plain wood screws.

I reclaimed some land from the excavated debris mountains as a binder.

That's why clay is a good material, because any number of times it can be recycled ... You only need a little water to add it.

Today's smeared with mud action ended successfully :). The small hole was omitted due to future cables.

The next day the mud dried.

It was further broken down

Then the bottom will be walled up because the cables will go up there.

I painted the new box in the distribution cabinet gray.

It could be the title of a movie that is “under the gray 50 cable” or “under the gray power again”.

I screwed on a top hat rail and some main cable terminals. From here, the incoming cable will branch to the different parts.

The part under the box has also been smoothed,

then in a bucket I mixed some concrete from small-grained pebbles.

After half an hour of drying, I also removed the wooden formwork because the clay had sucked enough water out of the concrete.

I think this will need to be watered a little more often than usual.

The point is that you will already have where to put the distribution cabinet, as the original socket dropped either 2-3cm outwards and was not too horizontal.
