Sewing Room: Electrical Outlets & Baseboards
You may recall from my last post, that electrical wiring in this room was an add-on, i.e. added after the room was built. Dan contemplated two options for the wiring: either drill holes through the studs and run the wiring behind the walls, or run it along the top of the baseboard and cover it with trim. Then he looked into how log home builders install wiring. In a log home, electrical wiring is run though holes which are drilled lengthwise in the logs. Dan adapted that idea using ready-made tongue-and-groove boards.
First, a hole was cut out for the electrical outlet box. |
View from the bottom. The wiring fit perfectly in the board’s groove! |

Besides being the perfect width for a baseboard, the tongue-and-groove planks are much cheaper than the same size plain board. I’ll just have to get a primer that will cover the knots.

After: two sections of baseboard installed and wiring safely hidden. |
I now have electricity in my (hopefully) soon-to-be sewing room! Then, due to the return of beautiful weather, we were back outdoors again. We’ll finish the trimwork the next time it rains. After that I can start painting.
