Done, Done, Finished!!!!

finally got it wrapped today... a data closet from a patch of dirt, to
punched down.

slab, before the pour:

pulling Cat 6:

dealing with the pulled Cat 6:

packing a marshmallow into a piggy bank:

the marshmallow strikes back after escaping the box:

the unruly wires are beaten into submission:

and finally, a cover is made for all the ugly pipes.... everything is made up and done....

I love the way your wiring chase with cover doubles as a step so that short techs will be able to reach the equipment in the top of the rack.

Quite impressive. You must have been very organized and patient, or you would have been found strangled to death by that pile when no one was looking.

Was surge suppression and wet rated/DB cable a requirement since its all in the slab?

The top board would need to lap over the fascia board.

Nice job.

I like the piggy bank. I remember another trade "helping" by trimming all of our cable ends to a nice neat length for us before dad & I came back to make up the ends.

A lot of specs require GRC elbows be wrapped when in contact with concrete or earth.

Install looks great. How did you keep the concrete guys from starting to pour anything before you completed?

I love the before/after shots! Looks great!

Do you always work weekends to finish jobs?

 

[Ponchik]

Even though it will be covered up with concrete it is a very impressive installation. Not bad for a rookie.

Sometime back didn't you say you were a one man shop??? I am wondering how you did this?

 

[petersonra]

seems like a lot of work. I often wonder why they don't just daisy chain FO cable around instead.

Nice job..:thumbsup:

The top board would need to lap over the fascia board.

all the joints are made with pocket screws on the inside, that serve
to hold it until the titebond III glue dries around the domino floating
tenons... it's all mortise and tenion construction.

but structurally, you are quite correct. would have been better to
sit the ply directly on the fascia.

wow. tough crowd. :lol:

So that is how you meet that MAGIC number on your windshield. But do you have any time to enjoy the fruits of your labor ?

And now that it is over, I bet you just can't wait to go through the whole routine again on the next job!
Plan to take Fourth of July off, please.
