Our contractor Michael removed the paneling on that wing wall, and we have a problem. The wires from that light switch are going straight up into the roof. They travel buried in the tar&gravel roof all the way to the light fixtures in the kitchen.
Here are some before/after pics.

Now we have to figure out a way to relocate those wires, otherwise we won't be able to shorten the wall. Time to discuss with our electrician Sergio from S&R Electric.
As you know I did the same thing. I dug up the wires on the roof, pulled them up and sent them back down inside the wall. Due to the reduced length, I had to use a junction box at the top of the wall, which is fine because that's where the doorbell sits.
ReplyDeleteHow hard was it to dig up the roof? What did you use to seal the roof after removing the cables and sending them back down? There is still some time until foam roofers come into the picture :)
ReplyDeleteHi RN, do you live in N Cali (San Mateo? Sunnyvale?)? We just bought an Eichler like yours (mirrored floorplan) and are doing some similar renovations. Would love to talk to you more about what you did etc. privately if possible... lots of fantastic info here!
ReplyDeleteHi Ben, yes I am in Sunnyvale and I'd be happy to help. I didn't see any contact info though :)
