Know thy self

My inherent belief about myself is that I can turn my hand to most things, that I'm good at finding an understanding of the how and developing an ability of the doing. Coupled with my ocd attention to detail, it usually stands me in good stead. It's been a long time since I used tools in any real sense so the Hut has been a good reevaluation, a chance to reconnect with a long passed version of me. 
I'm really enjoying the joinery, didn't even mind when the saw's laser sight decided to quit. I'm oddly pleased that so far I've mentally optimised all the internal wood, nothing (that's been undamaged) larger than six inches has been wasted.
Theory tells me I should really 'get' the electrics. It's basically physics and rules. It should fall well into my wheelhouse. But I have to accept it doesn't*. Sure I can wire sockets and lights, but the connections and sequences are infuriating. The 'rules' are mostly guidance and seem to be open to vastly different interpretations - most schematics refer to live, neutral and earth - just not in the configuration cables come....frankly I've found the whole process frustratingly unrewarding... And tomorrow I'll have to drill through my lovely joinery to the outside, pah. Fortunately the electrician comes on Wednesday to wire the consumer unit and certify it. Hopefully that will be the end of it.
We had a wander out when the day got cooler. Another beautiful day in our corner of the world.

* I am very pleased that I managed to rewire the ethernet cables into their socket after threading the cable through the woodwork. A good test of eyesite, 16 fraction of a millimetre wires.
