Basement Stair Lights

Kim and I finished up the pre-concrete stair lights for the exterior basement stairs.  This all has to be in place prior to the other side of the wall form being installed (tomorrow/Monday).  All of the horizontal metal bars sticking out in the photos below attach to similar forms that face inward, and together this makes up the exterior stairwell wall.

When the concrete is poured, it will completely encase the conduit and boxes and they will be permanently held in place.

In order to keep them in proper position during the pour, they have to be attached to the form itself.  I figured out a way to use plastic tubing as a spacer to protect the bolt itself from becoming encased in concrete.  This will allow the concrete contractor to remove the bolts from the other side of the form prior to removing the forms after the concrete has poured.

We also added a box in the center of the bottom landing on the wall for an exterior power outlet.
