Electrical

Last year we got a really good deal on insulation, so we went ahead and bought enough to roll out another layer in the attic.We were able to roll it over the bedrooms, hallway and into the formal dining room (AKA baby grand piano room), but the living room, kitchen and weird back room were never done because the electrical was (is) a hot mess. It made more sense to figure out what to do with the wires first, and than roll out the insulation.

 Fast forward a year and we were still trying to decide what to do with the electrical. After a couple of big pow wow session, we've had success. I thought no big deal, Bob will climb into the attic, we'll get the wiring in, and bam, we're done.

And then pieces of the wall started to come down.

And the drywall dust came creeping back. As usual nothing is as it appears. There were live wires going to nowhere, dead wires everywhere and random lighting everywhere. Bob and dad were only able to put in the recessed lighting in the living room and sort out some of the wires in kitchen. So what should have been a weekend project, has turned into a couple of weeks projects.
