That's the first 8.5 kw dome light I've ever seen in a house!

So far it took me over 1 hour to give the second floor a final inspection and today another 1 hour for the first floor. I still have to go back and do the outside and the basement. The EC for the job is R.F. Romano Enterprise (Bob) and his job is picture perfect. His main foreman is John, and he is the man who used the iron on each and every wire for that job. Bob is also into the IT wiring. He was explaining to me today about how his system works. He want to get it in a photo shoot for E.C.& M. and other trade mags. (Anyone out there listening from EC&M?)
Bob also is a Lutron and Creston Dealer. His video pads at the doors can tell you about the electrical system, the HVAC, video and even get the weather from the Weather Channel. If anyone is interested they can e-mail me and I can get you in touch with Bob. I am going to see him tommorrow and give him this e-mail address, so maybe he can stop by and chat for awhile. I still have some more photo's and if you guys are interested, I will get more to Trumpy. I have some shots of the IT/AV/CAT works. I know someone was asking about it.

P.S. Tony S. does not live here.

I was going to post some pictures, but I don't think I will now.

It would be like I was back in kiddygarten and I brought my little red firetruck, and I got called on after the kid with the latest greatest most expensive dream toy that we all wanted. [Linked Image]

Actually, after all the burnt/fried/botched/scary things that we normally see on these forums, it's refreshing to see jobs that are truly well done.

As much as you can learn from the scary stuff, you can learn from the good stuff as well.

Kudos, I lift a toast.

A piece of art.

It's great to see in these rush and cut costs times that good quality workmanship is still about.

Ok it may take some more time but to overall result is neat and very professional.

Job well done mate

Trainwire,

Please post your pictures, we all would like to see them. by the way, this isn't my job, I just had to inspect it. The foreman John from R.F. Romano deserves all of the credit. He has been here doing work for many months. I am only sorry that I am almost done with my inspections. I love going back to this house to look at the workmanship that was done there. I hope to post some more pictures soon.

(P.S. The wiring in my own house doesn't look this good.!) [Linked Image]

Trivia question: should have asked it in my last post but, How hard is it to get at those Quartz lights to service them?

Just curious..

It looks like the Q-lights are mounted on panels, that might swing out into the attic space on the other side of the wall?

Techie,

Absolutely correct! Each 500 watt quartz light is mounted on a swing out panel. You just open up the panel, swing it out and you can work on the light fixture.
