Electrical Work, Yes, More Of It!

It seems that the electrical work never ends on the basement fit-out (that's what we call it in the construction world I come from).  Not that I am complaining, I just get antsy to 'get on with it!'

We've done some cable management - basically lots of tidying up.

Tidying up the wiring at the floor joists

Zip tying all the wiring through the walls

 Then came fire alarm install.  This was a little more involved.  Code requires that fire alarm devices be wired together so that when one sounds, all of them sound.  There are also specific requirements for first floor and above and basement levels.  What we did:
1) Used approximately the same location of our existing fire alarm in the hall outside the bedrooms (Hubs does want to add a device in each bedroom though upstairs ... so this may change)

2) Wired a device up in the attic, that will have to be removed though after reading the instructions in the box (oops)
3) Added a new device in the stairs to the basement as required by code (plus added a recessed light, nice!)

4) Added a fire alarm + carbon monoxide detector in the mechanical room.  We have a furnace and definitely want a CO detector at the location of combustibles

5) Added a device outside the 'extra room' (not an official 'bedroom')
6) Added a device in front of our electrical panel

Hubs likes to press the 'test' button often (yes, he is like a kid), Grouper and I just give him 'the look'.  :)
