I am fortunate in that the previous owner of our home had an above-ground pool and had already had wiring run underground. I uprooted most of it right up to where my observatory is sitting.
So this past Sunday, I hooked everything up, clicked on the breaker, plugged in a radio and nothing. Aaaaahhhhh! So I opened the box up where the outdoor socket/junction is. The previous owner unhooked it. Well, he didn't unhook it, he cut the wires nice and short. So I ended up having to remove the wires from the socket and wiring it direct to the observatory. No big deal, but don't you just hate it when someone takes a short cut and it ends up making the project an hour longer than it should've been?
Anyway, it works and the observatory now has power, Scotty. Phasers at the ready!!
