Wired and Waiting

I finished wiring the closet this weekend. All that's left is to connect to the service panel to make everything live. All the wire is run, all the outlets are installed, and all the lights are in and functional. I won't wire up the dryer, washer or water heater until I move the appliances. And that won't happen until the plumbing is run and connected.

I did install one piece of the plumbing puzzle. I found a valve and drain combo box at the hardware store that I liked and decided to put it in right away. The photo below is of the dryer outlet (top), the washer outlet (below the dryer outlet), and the plumbing box.

This next photo shows the water heater j-box in the water heater closet, the light in the water heater closet (it has a pull cord), and the light switch for the lights in the washer/dryer closet.

This last photo shows the lights in the washer-dryer closet. It's so nice to have light.

The circuit that the washer is on is 20 amp and has a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) on it. It's always good to be safe. The outlets were easy to wire because I could just insert the wires in holes on the back of the outlet and then tighten the screw. None of this bending wires into little loops hassle. The brother-in-law would have loved it.
