If so, I did apply black heat shrink to the white wire so that nobody else would mistakenly think it's a neutral. Also, my neighbor is a journeyman electrician, so I usually have him sanity check my DIY work to make sure I'm not doing anything incorrect or dangerous.






So far, I like it.. It makes pretty good heat for its size. However, it's obviously going to be less effective in a non insulated space, so now my next project is to close in the rafters and add insulation. My first step was to add a folding attic ladder since I want to maintain easy access for storage.
