Stranded at the depot…

First sparky home depot run of the contest. The heart of the beast…not 1, not 2, but 4 sixty amp breakers for a main switch. That’s still probably not enough, but hey, it’s only gotta work for 2 minutes right??

Our freakin cabby stranded us but gave us his number so that we could call and have them tell us “we’re all outta cabs”. I love this city…
