For the coming of 'OmbreNoire', all the stuff must be ready! Here it is  :arrow:



While this time, I'm working on the 'lightning circuit #1', which will be 3 rows of 5 fluorescent tubes. Let's start the first row :



Although the electricity is not available here, I cannot resist to power up that first row with the help of the V2 power...



Damn it! These 5 tubes are already powerful enough to light the entire room! ...and I'll add 10 more!  :o



Ok, as you can guess, these tubes won't stay in 'white' color... not sure what colors combination I'll use atm, it will require few 'experiments'!  :P

Anyway I'm happy with that choice...

More pics !  ;)

Yes chief, here's you turn my friend!  8)

So, Ombrenoire came that day, very early because there's was lot of work to do! :P

In no time, the work starts! While he's working hard on the creation of all electricity circuits, electricity sockets interconnect  ...



... and the electric panel...



...or I should say BOTH electronic panels, the new one here dedicated for the V3, but also a small one inside my house that derivate all the power arriving at my house...and its interconnect with the main one from my house! So he worked on ... three panels that day! Impressive!!! 

 :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

...and while this time, I'm 'gently' working on the row 2 & 3 from the lightning circuit #1  ::)  :arrow:



So much work today done, and stillto do... no time for anything else than a Pizza  ;D  :arrow:



...but the result is here! At the end of the day, most of the circuits are operational! Hell yeah!  :)

Drum roll, the first item powered by the specific V3 electricity board is not a cabinet, but ... a simple halogen  ;D  :arrow:



...oh, and yes, the 3 rows of tubes are now operational!  :arrow:



Ops, a bad manipulation on one tube... and I broke it  ::)! Will be a simple fix ...and I have a looooooooot of spare  ;D

Let's say the electricity job is done at about 80% at this point!

Many thanks Claude 'OmbreNoire' for your help on this! I won't forget it my friend! It was a great day.

 :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

I really appreciated the nice chats we had  :) It was really fun.

So see you soon, the job is not totally over  ;)

LOL, yeah... in addition to be very cute to watch, this CS is also very useful... for example we put on it everything we need to hide from our daughter 'seeing'  :P

Yes, no problem with that in Belgium and France.

I don't know Bruno..  a guy with 3 big buildings in the backyard.. lights on and flickering in the middle of the night, little to no windows.  All that's missing is some strange smell coming from them!   :)

 ;D... and because of these 'strange smells', I'm eving fixing sockets... close to the roof!   ;)



It will be used for laser beam projector device, and/or LCD TV, or 'Recognizer' neon, or other lighting effects... don't know yet...



Funny! During the 'inspection' of the work done together with OmbreNoire the day after his coming, I've seen this!!!  :arrow:



I didn't see him writing it!  ;D Nice, but next time, you'll add the symbol please!  ;D

Ok, let's clean the place before the next step, still 'electricity' related...

Hey Bruno, I'm confused, is this the finished wall, or will drywall/gypsum board/other material be installed on top of all of this now that electrical is done?
