Totally Wired

Our neighbour really thinks we're rich now that he's had a look at our electrical system.


Most of the house is on the panel on the left. A few things we'd like to leave on for safety and convenience are on the other panel.
When we go to bed, we will be able to turn off the electricity to most of the outlets and fixtures in the house and bask in a non-charged atmosphere. It's easier for your body to rest and recuperate when not in the presence of electrical fields.
While this might not matter much to most folks, to cutting-edge eco-pessimists, fretting about EMF and EMR is the very vanguard of worry. Some folks concern themselves with smelly paint and insulation and be done with it. Not us.



If you forget to put an outlet in your rammed earth wall, but you have stick frame under the windows you can still run conduit beside the window and install the outlet below it.



This is another way to avoid having to run conduit through your walls, if you aren't concerned with having every single thing in your home constructed of rammed earth.

Another reason for the stick frame at the front of the house is one never knows how zoning may change over the next five hundred years and it leaves a little flexibility at the front of the structure. Not every one wants their front door as far back as we do, but not every one lived with their front door opening directly onto the Urban Tapestry as we did.



Nowadays there are different creatures lurking around our home.

Like this plump fellow.

We should get power in the house next week. The insulation squad shows up tomorrow. I wonder what radio station they listen to?
