Finally after what seemed like an eternity of cold rainy weather, the skies cleared somewhat.  It was great getting back to working on the house.  Today we started putting in some of the conduit for the electric lines running through the shell.   The picture below shows an outlet box at the end of the South-East retaining wall.  I can’t wait until we can use it to plug in a string of Christmas light to follow around the arch.

I used a heat gun to soften and bend the PVC conduit to fit into the corners and around rebar.  Most of the other fixtures, such as ceiling lights, will be connected by flexible conduit to make it easer to install over the tops of the arched roof.  These will all be embedded in the concrete shell.
