Videoing /Connecting Rope Light on New Site and Travelling through different routes on Steem Atlas

But before going there directly, Engineer took me on a round town tour. It's not an outright tour though. He wanted to purchase some electrical devices that would be used in the new site. We boarded a bus to Abak Rd where we alighted at an electrical store to purchase a ventilation fan. The ventilation fan costs 45k in Nigerian Naira. This fan is a 12 × 12 ventilation fan. He selected the best of the best to use for the new construction site he was employed to work. This is a picture of the extractor fan or Expeller.

This would be used for the kitchen to remove or expel repulsive air from the kitchen to the surrounding. We left the electrical store to another electrical store where we purchased Rope light of different colours. This tape light is also sold in the place he bought the extractor fan but it's cheaper elsewhere. We boarded a vehicle to another electrical store at Nepa Line. This was the first time I knew this location was NEPA line rd. I've been hearing about the NEPA line rd but haven't been there.

I was there that day and we made the purchase of two rolls of rope light which costs about 12k for each. In my mind, I was like, for ordinary light?? See something that was sold at 5k. We tasted the light to check if it was working and also to confirm the colours as the client wanted blue and pink. We selected the preferred colours and left for the new site.

There was a short cut road from NEPA line to 2-Lane, Nsikak Eduok. It was my first time using the route. I made good use of my Google map to highlight the routes I passed through in this diary game. We boarded the vehicle to four-lane by Ewet housing and then boarded a cyclist to White House by Mbak rd which is the location of the new site.

On reaching the site, I took pictures of it before moving round the house to check the structure and others. The tape light bought was to be installed in the rooms and parlours though we forgot to purchase plugging. The client was specific as to what colours he wanted in each division. All divisions were made with Plaster of Paris ceiling. The design made it possible to install these lights in its corners so they can reflect without outrightly being shown ever when viewed from a distance. Let me talk about the installation...

Placing Rope Lights

These rope lights have connectors that connect it to two visible live and neutral wires up there, linked to a particular switch in the room. This is the plugging and it's just two we bought.. We didn't know it would be needed in large quantities for use. We just had to work with what was available at the moment. You may be wondering how we reached the ceiling. Through the help of a wooden scaffold, we were able to reach such a height.

I was just watching intensely to know how it's done before practicing it. To the placement, the engineer I was assigned to video showed me a lot of things. He told me to always check the switch before operating up there. Ensure the switch is turned off to avoid electrical shock. There are many other precautions you'll need to take to ensure you do the work well. Another is that when placing a tape light, ensure to use a plier to hold the fittings to avoid loosening when you step down from a one-sided scaffold.

This is a one-sided scaffold I used and I had to place a plier to hold my light as I came down to change position. That's it. In essence, you also need to ensure you don't cut the light bulb after placing it to the point of connection. There's a joining shown in the picture below. This is where you're to cut the tape light and not the bulb. After watching how the connection was made and doing video coverage for it, I took to placing it in other divisions of the house.

We tested it after placement to ensure a good connection. The blue light placed was ignited and shown round the designed POP. That's how we did for other rooms until we were done. It was an enjoyable experience.
