Electrical Outlet, Cattle Panel, and Potatoes

J has been busy with his brother Jacob in the backyard.

Jacob wants to build his own house so he wanted to try installing an electrical outlet. When we had the grill built, it was going to be $125 extra for an exterior outlet so we didn't do it. There is an interior box since J wanted a refrigerator, but if you want to plug anything additional into it you have to remove either the grill or the fridge to get to it.

So Jacob drilled through the cinder block and cement.

Ran the wire.

And connected it to the interior box.

Then he hooked up the outlet on the exterior.

He did a really good job. Everything works and nothing has burned down.

While he was doing that, J was busy planting potatoes.

Then we took the cattle panel and installed it on the wall.

Marcus The Truck is so awesome

J's original plan had been to use coaxial cable clips, which are plastic. I told him the Phoenix sun is really rough and that they would probably become pretty brittle. I suggested washers. Seems to be holding up pretty well. We'll see how much weight it can handle when he gets a vine growing up it.
