Arrived on site to install a new circuit in PVC conduit for three outlets. The layout was assessed to determine the best routing for the installation. The existing circuit was extended across the beam, and a new box was set in place. A hole was cut through the beam to allow the PVC conduit to terminate at the back of the box. The conduit run was extended to the right side of the beam to the endpoint, leaving space for future expansion if needed. Another box was installed at the end of this run, and work began on the opposite side of the beam. The next step requires creating an additional opening to continue the conduit run to the left of the existing circuit, allowing for completion and potential future additions. Work concluded at the point where the new opening is needed for extension.
