DC install problem

[Bob Hull]

The install was finished today.  A dremel drum sander
was used to make a half-hole in the top edge of the
bottom panel.  Pouring water in from the top sounded
scary.  Also, bought and extension cord, drilled a
hole in the bottom board and took the power cord out
that way over to the outlet.  They need one of those
rubber strips that lies on top of a cord to keep
people from tripping.  Don't know where to get those. 
This was a good job since I put on a grand 7 part
system with undercover on their new C7 as well as this
U1. 

Thanks everybody.
