Photo Details
- Date: May 25, 2026
- Time: 5:19 PM EDT
- Phase: Phase 1 — 120V rough-in (DIY)
- Location: West wall, between the two windows (the west/north corner is at the right edge)
- Subject: 16”-AFF outlet box — wired but not energized
Description
A 16”-AFF outlet on the west wall between the two windows, near the west/north corner. The 2-gang box is mounted at the standard 16” AFF floor-outlet height and is wired into the west-wall 16” chain, but the wire run back to the panel is not yet pulled, so the outlet is not energized.
The west wall is intentionally all 16” AFF — no workbench is planned on this wall (the workbench and its dedicated workbench-height circuit are on the north wall). Additional outlets will be installed along the west wall once more devices are on hand (next Menards trip — outlets ran out after the 12 used for the rear wall today).
Visible Elements
- 2-gang plastic box at 16” AFF (floor-line height) between the two windows
- Yellow 12-2 NM-B romex chase visible across stud bays (not stapled — rough-in)
- Two windows flanking the outlet; the framing turns the corner at the right edge (west/north corner)
- PVC pipe sections, trim board, and lumber scrap staged on slab below — not part of today’s electrical work
- Kitty litter bag at right edge — concrete dust / oil absorbent staged for use
Why This Photo
Documents the position of a 16”-AFF general-purpose outlet on the west wall between the two windows. Future-self reference for confirming that the west wall is intentionally all 16” AFF — no workbench-height boxes here, because no workbench is planned on this wall.
