More progress.

Over the last week or two I've been working on getting all the electrical pulled for the outlets and lighting. I'm doing a bunch of can lights in the bedrooms, bathrooms, living room, and kitchen. The bedrooms are wired up very thoroughly for future needs and one of the bedrooms is being set up for a home office with a fully powered closet to support printer, fax, etc.

I also have been working on the fire wall between the garage and kitchen. It was tore up pretty bad from getting all the plumbing installed, which is now done. So, I re-sheetrocked the wall, taped and textured it and yesterday got a final coat of paint on the wall. It is officially the first completed and done piece of the house. Feels good.

Master Bedroom. Tore the sheetrock off to make way for electrical and insulation.





Bedroom with outlets pulled. Next here will be insulation followed by sheetrock.






Here you can see the damage to the garage fire wall, so I just re-rocked the whole wall.






First coat of tapping compound. Looking in towards the kitchen from the garage. This entire wall is new. On it will be the washer, dryer, furnace, water heater, sink, and water softener.



Fire wall done. Textured, primed and painted. Plumbing loops sticking out for future hook ups.





Living room. New outlets on back wall.



Here you can see I've pushed the hall ceiling up a foot to full 8 feet. It was lower before. New can lights installed.




Bathroom plumbing done and all new electrical going in.




The wall I framed up between the kitchen and the living room. On the other side of the stud wall there will be two ceiling height pantry cabinets. Through the studs on the other wall you can see, there will be another archway opening leading from the kitchen to the front door so you don't have to walk around through the living room to the opening you see here. The picture below shows the half wall which was where the opening is to the kitchen in the shot above.






I'm thinking if I keep the same pace I've been working at over the last few months, I could be done with this and ready to move in in six to nine months. We'll see. It's overwhelming and at times I'm so burnt out, especially since I usually go straight from work in the morning to the house and work till 8 or so.
