Draining the cellar – 1 year later
I have been working on drying out my basement for a good 2 years.

Convert gas grill Napoleon PHANTOM to external power supply
My Napoleon P500 gas grill will be the centerpiece of my new backyard kitchen. The outdoor kitchen is still under construction, but I already have to think about installing the gas barbecue. In addition to the work surface of the Napoleon Prestige 500 – which should be at the same level as the rest of the worktop – the ventilation of the gas grill and the supply of gas and electricity must also be considered and planned.

Illuminate carport with LED strip light – install camera and motion detector
The carport was finally finished. The roof was tight and the protective coating was also applied several times. Now I could devote myself to the electrics. In addition to lighting which would have to be switched either by motion detector, should also accommodate at least 2 sockets in the carport. In order to be able to connect speakers in the future, I of course needed the appropriate cables for this as well.
