How was your Holiday?

I spent my vacation working around the house. I moved an existing shed. First I had to tear part of it down then I used two car jacks and moved the remaining portion of the shed about 20 feet. Once I moved the shed I rebuilt it. I then picked up an used jacuzzi from a friend. To move the jacuzzi I rented a trailer to haul it to my home. It was very heavy so I used piano dollies to move it from the front of the house to the rear. Once I got the jacuzzi into the place I wanted it  I then had to figure out how to run electricity to it. I did not want to break up the existing concrete so I came up with a plan to build a low wall to run the conduit to the jacuzzi on. Once I installed the conduit and ran the electrical wire inside the conduit I was ready to fire up the jacuzzi. When I turned the breaker on for the power to the jacuzzi it tripped the secondary breaker - meaning something was either not done correctly or something within the jacuzzi was not working correctly. I spent a day trying to figure out what I may had done incorrectly and could not come up with anything I had done wrong. I contacted a company out of the phone book to come take a look at my work and the jacuzzi. It took a couple of days to get them to come to my home but they did show up and informed me that the heating coil in the jacuzzi was not working and was the cause of the breaker tripping. I was relieved to hear that I did the electrical wiring correctly, but bummed that I now had to wait for a part to be ordered and installed before I could use the jacuzzi.   I am still waiting for the company to come back with a new heating coil so I can enjoy the jacuzzi. Now tell me about your vacation.

  5. I went to Arizona to visit my family for xmas. I got a laptop, jacket, and a scarf nd some little gifts that were already opened nd missing parts. For new years I spent the day at home with my cousins taking pictures and messing with makeup or playing xbox. I ended up knocking out at 10 so i missed the countdown.

  42. I was able to get the jacuzzi working this weekend! Don't really know what I did? It may have been a loose wire causing the breaker to trip. But when I flipped the breaker this weekend it did not trip and the heating coil worked!
