Projects which deal with electricity clearly fall into the anti-DIY category. Fortunately, our friend Kaitsu, who completed the electric work upstairs earlier, had promised to accept the downstairs (extreme) challenge as well.

Half a storage space, half a Man Cave for Pekka's projects, lighting plays a crucial role. Light will be provided by a set of fluorescent tubes placed in various places around the bunker. For example, the tubes on the back wall (picture below) will be covered by a board in front to make the light indirect.
Indirect light to be |
Major part of Pekka's assistant work was to drill the needed holes to enable running the cable from the electrical board located upstairs to downstairs. Once again, the recently acquired new drilling tool with a 30 mm drill bit become handy once again. Altogether, to run all the wires through required three rather big holes to connect the floors.
Way from upstairs |
As it will be a Man Cave, there were certain "special" requirements. Perhaps the most manly one was the availability of power current. Pekka can finally cross this point "completed" from his long term wish list. The power current really marks the beginning of a new era in the Olive Green Window, enabling the use of a much wider variety of tools than before. Just imagine the possibilities! Nevertheless, we will start by compressing the gravel on the bunker floor by using a machine instead of manual effort, which would be clearly insufficient anyways.
Power current plug |
As a summary, it is pretty amazing now there is power. Oh, and the floor heating in the downstairs lounge works as well. Quite nice indeed.
Mitäs olette suunnitelleet tuohon "kallion" päälle? Oiva paikka siitakesienien kasvatukseen? Viinikellari?
ReplyDeleteSienet ei ehkä olleet päällimmäisenä mielessä, mutta ei nekään toki ole poissuljettuja:) Viini kuullostaa jo enemmän "meidän jutulta". Juuri tuossa kuvassa olevan kallion päälle tulee Pekan "Miljoonahuoneen" varasto, eli satunnaisia antiikkiesineitä, valaisimia ja huonekaluja, jotka odottavat kunnostusta/entisöintiä, sekä varmaankin läjä sukellusvarusteita.
DeleteBunkkerin isommanpuolen kalliolle, (joka ei siis näy näissä kuvissa) on juuri rakenteilla hyllyjä, joiden päälle tulee säilytystilat talvella hankitulle tiikki-vuorelle. Tiikit lojuvat tällä hetkellä sisään kannetun soran päällä ja ne pitäisi siirtää pois soralta pikapuolin, jotta sora voidaan täryyttää ja valaa lattiat.. Kauheasti puuhaa:)
