Building w.s. – Electricity

Finally, after 6 months waiting, an electrician has visited us and finalized the electricity work in the workshop! Which means that we’ve got power. Which also means that we are in principle ready for the final building inspection.

Waiting for the electrician we had signed up for the job took all of our patience and a bit more. But after waiting for 6 months we ultimately gave up on him and asked for a replacement. I have never heard so many “reasons” not to show up for a day’s worth of work: the car has broken down, back problems, health issues, engine failure, etc.

The alternative electrician was brilliant. He agreed to come within 2 weeks. He came punctually at exactly 09.00. He worked effectively. What else does one want? Yes, he complained about one set of lamps that were hard to connect because of the tiny parts that maybe only a Chinese kid can work with, but otherwise, he was the typical Finnish professional.

During the control measurement, we identified that one of the cable strings I had pulled was faulty. I must have accidentally have hit the cable with a nail when attaching the wall paneling. He pulled a replacement cable within 15 minutes and that was that.

Now we’ve got connected the 8 power sockets and the lamps on both the workshop side and the garage side. Once we have got the invoice of the electrician we can ask for the final inspection.
