3 conductors of 0000 aluminum wire are used to connect the municipal power to the MicroHouse from the electrical panel on the workshop. This wire feeds into a 200 Amp breaker box on the MicroHouse.

The breaker box on the MicroHouse supply circuits delivered by wiring in channels above the ceiling, with drops to the areas for power delivery.

All wiring will be 120V except for the dryer - which requires 220V.

All interior wires will be run along the inside wall surfaces along with thin profile boxes for switches and receptacles. Afterward, the walls will be covered with a layer of plaster which will cover the wires and part of the boxes.
