Some electrical stuff
We get several power outages every year. Two years ago, it was for five days. This little panel is hardwired into the service panel and has an outside 30 amp outlet for connecting to a generator. I can then run one 240V circuit (the well pump) and four 120V circuits (lights, fridge, freezer and septic pump). No extension cords coming through the windows!
The wires are routed in the ICCF using an inexpensive electric chainsaw. The box is cut out using a drywall jab saw. In this case, the position that I really wanted for the triple box was right where there was some additional concrete (on the right-hand side). It took a few minutes with my little air hammer to get it to fit correctly.
The box is then foamed into place.
