Nobodys noticed that I can not plug anything into the GFCI receptacle in the raceway...:shhh: :whistle:

It was ulgy and I'm just using it... like a cheap date... for the GFCI part :lol:

I figured you didn't think it matched. :lol: :lol: :R Should put it in the galley close to the incoming line if you are worried about it or leave it for the extra need. :lol: 8)

You don't miss a thing do you??

I have the inlet power wired straight to it (GFCI) and it feeds the other receptacals. No Terminals blocks to wire or worry about. I will use a power cord with a circuit breaker already installed. And a BIG THANK YOU to you Aunti M, I would have never know they made them. (per one of our many PM's)

40' 15amp lighted Circuit Breaker. :thumbsup:

Mary, I really like the wood contrast between the ceiling and wall.

I'm not too smart. I saw the GFCI but just thought you hadn't cut the hole for it yet.

I dressed my GFCI with a perdy chrome plate to match my voltmeter and 12v outlet.

Thank ya, but just wait till you see my ugly trim work around the inside curve at the headliner and side walls :disappointed:

You'll notice the post..It'll say something like "I HATE TRIM"... That is if I even post pictures.. don't know if I want anyone to see it. I have been fighting with it for 4 days.... :BE :fb

Sorry that is going so hard for you.
Haven't seen too many people here who really like doing the trim. Or maybe they just keep it in the closet. ;) I totally dread doing the trim.

I don't do speakers but there are a whole bunch here that have some awesome noise makers. :lol:
I rarely do noise. (Ask my kids about the Dirty Dancing tape.) :lol:

Hi Mary,

Your TD is looking great. :thumbsup: I also had issues with my trim. I ended up using pre-finished foam type stuff that I ripped in half and would bend easily. I still ended up with a bunch of brad holes that I have to live with or countersink and putty. It's not easy working up in the corner with your head bent at strange angles. One idea I saw was someone who had used rope to trim with.

Have you checked the heat output of your ceiling lights? I put aircraft type reading lights in my front wall over the bed but then was concerned with the heat generated behind the lights inside the insulated wall with nowhere for the heat to go. I solved the problem by replacing the incandecent bulbs with 12V LED's. Looks like your lights are hallogen and may get hot.

I still think you should join us at Turkey Run State Park in May. It shouldn't take more than 12 hours to run up to Indiana.

Mary,

Nice work on all of the electrical. I am just beginning the phase that you are just completing. I think you need to slow down so that I can catch up. Beautiful job! :applause:
