Running new wiring for my range

I have been very busy indeed!  Other than school and all the other things I am currently trying to do, I have a broken electrical line that I need to be fixing.  I finally got my chance this weekend since all the snow has melted, and it was rather sunny.  This is just to continue my previous posts about my range/oven problem here, here, here and here.  First off, the disclaimer!  I am not responsible for any of your actions resulting from reading this web page.  What you do is your responsibility.  Leave this to professionals, or really cheap people only!  You have been warned.

This project took me two whole days!  At first, I thought it was going to take around 3 – 5 hours, boy was I wrong.  Running those wires in the conduit took especially long since I have to be underneath my mobile home crawling and sniffing on spider poo.  I did not take all the pictures, but these are the items that I found useful for this project:

  • Wires
  • 3/4" conduit (couplings, elbows?, glue and the works)
  • Wire cutter
  • Exacto knife
  • Hacksaw
  • Electrical tape
  • Screw driver
  • Brain
  • Old clothes that you’re not afraid of getting ruined
  • Drill
  • Flashlight
