Today, I set up a fixture in the dining room and it took some 5 hours from start to finish. Not even really sure where all the time goes it just sloops away. Doing it with my friend who is a builder with some electrical experience. She's giving me a good rate but it's going to add up to do the whole house.
The house is down to studs and had old knob n tube that we already took out. So basically we were connecting two 20' spans through pre-existing paths with no teardown or finishing work on either side.
The fixture itself was done with a metal brace. It's okay if this is how long it takes I guess, I just don't know if this is typical or if we're working slow.
are you just working or are you being taught how to do these things as you go? 5 hours for what you did sounds like a lot for the former but about right for the latter
Mainly my friend is working and teaching with little pedagogical interludes.
Oh Jesus knob and tube
IT's all disconnected already. Just a few places the wires themselves weren't removed.
