The Boys Build a Wall

As part of our continuing series on "Building Basements Backwards", the boys completed the Wall-Building session by planning, measuring, cutting and constructing a 4x8 foot wall made of 2x3 boards. Afterward, they were given initial instructions on basic wiring, including mounting of outlet, switch and junction boxes, routing of wiring cables, termination of wires to switches, and switch mounting.
