Rob has the major exterior electrical wrapped up - the connection to the Xcel service is complete and all the exterior light fixtures and outlets are in! We went for subtle exterior fixtures made of brushed aluminum.
To keep the wires from the alley away from our house, we connected the main feed to the garage and via conduit underground, brought it into the basement. As part of the installation, Rob also included conduit for a photovoltaic panel array on the roof - this allows us the option of solar if we have any “extra” money at the end of the project.
