Arrived onsite and was shown to the garage and was told about the new tesla model 3 the resident is getting next week, and then i talked about charging options he could go with for that wall. After that, we took a look at the basement, the main electrical panel, and determined how much wire we would need, how i would run it, and talked to him about whole home surge protection. We talked about his different options to get it done, i wrote up a few options, and due to no one else being home at the time i will email the different options t the resident so he can make a decision.

Arrived onsite and was walked through a list of items they wanted either an estimate for, or addressed today. One of those things, was the switching on the kitchen lighting. The3 way system wasn’t working correctly so i opened it, troubleshot it and found the switch in the kitchen was faulty and ended up replacing that. Another item on the list, was the downstairs situation with the shelving. So they bought shelving/cabinets to go in at the bottom of the stairs, but currently there is an outlet and both main 3 way switches for the downstairs on that wall. After presenting a few solutions, we decided to blank the switches and i rerouted them to the railing side of the wall about 6 ft away or so, and then blanked the old switches off. I also added a new receptacle off the existing one behind where the new cabinet will go, and added one just outside on the wall outside of where the cabinets will sit. After that we cleaned up, i wrote it up, and then walked todays project with the resident
