I had a knock at the doorbell at 8:00AM today. It was Kyle from Over the Top Roofing. He was here to install some heat cable up on my roof where the ice dam forms. (Refer to Christmas Day 2022 Post)
I was expecting a call in advance of his visit so I could wire an outlet to plug into up there. We are going high tech by plugging the heat cable into a box with a thermal switch. That way, it comes on automatically somewhere around 32° and shuts off whenever the temperature is above that.
Here’s what I have done so far. I drilled the hole for my wire and fed enough through to make the run. I’m heading over to the General Store to buy a box. I need to go out and scrounge some conduit to run the wire through. My only concern right now is whether I have enough ladder to reach my work space.
10:45AM: I finally found the right circuit to turn off (Circuit # 33) and I have successfully connected the wire to power.
Next, I have to see if I have enough ladder.
1:23PM: I don't have enough ladder.
To be continued...
