Ready To Install

I had the electrician stop by tonight to go over a couple of things before running to FedEx to get my replacement panel for the last cabinet.  I actually have (2) cabinets that I need to put on the wall, the one that that requires the replacement piece, and the one that goes over the sink.  The one that goes over the sink has a couple of things going on with it.  First, I need a light to mount to it.  Since we are putting a cabinet over the sink rather than just going with a filler piece like there was before, I need to make sure I get the right kind of a light.  So I asked the electrician for advice/examples of what I can get.  I don’t want to buy something, or cut holes and then have it not be correct and he can’t use it, or worse, I have ruined the cabinet and will now require a replacement.  Second, because this light will be feeding off the wiring that was there for the old light that was mounted to the ceiling, I need to cut a hole in the top of the cabinet to have access to the junction box.

And that leads into the next thing.  I have a flexible metal conduit for running the wire from the junction box to the light hanging out of the wall.  I needed to talk to the electrician to make sure that I don’t end up covering something that he needs, or will end up having a flexible metal conduit hanging out of the wall. When all is said and done.  I needed to know exactly how I needed to cover, or mount the wires to be useful as well as aesthetically pleasing. 

I think I have it figured out.  I am going to secure the junction box and then just let the flexible conduit sit behind the cabinet since it won’t be seen anyway.  That is less wall patching, and will allow for easy movement if I end up making a mistake.  Hopefully all goes smoothly.

The replacement side panel looks good, but by the time I picked it up, it was getting late, so I am going to wait until tomorrow to get it together and up on the wall.
