Day 13

A lot more went on with electrical wiring and plumbing, but not stuff that is easy to see in pictures.


Installed the 6 new can lights and 2 pendants in the kitchen.  Took out the 2 old cans that were in the wrong place now.



Got rid of the old plumbing for the sink and added the gas connection for the new stove.



Added the plumbing for the new sink.  Lots of other plumbing stuff went on today, but I don't know what it was, lol.


We did make lots of decisions today.  Now that we can see the walls and size of the spaces, we opted to scratch 3 of the can lights in the basement that we had planned.  We hadn't made up our mind about lighting in the master bedroom, so we did that.  We're going with 4 sconces on the walls and 1 in the hallway.  We still haven't decided about a ceiling fan in our bedroom, so we opted to wire for it and decide later, after we live in the space for awhile.  Decided to go with a fluorescent fixture in the master closet, rather than incandescent.  Decided to go ahead and pay extra to fix that sloping floor in the basement so we can have laminate instead of carpet in the main sitting area.  And here's the one decision I felt just a little bad about -


I stood where the couch is going to be and realized that if we look right, we'll be looking right into the coat closet (left of the stairs).  I don't want to see that, so we're going to make that doorway smaller.  On the plus side, its a LOT easier to make it smaller than bigger.



Lots of wiring went on again today, which is very hard to show.  The basement wiring was all wrong too, so it had to all be redone.  The Jacuzzi tub upstairs was wired wrong, so that had to be fixed too.  

This photo is looking into the master bedroom, you can kind of see the ceiling and how its framed to drop down halfway across the room.  It has to in order to enclose the plumbing, but its going to look too choppy like that, so we decided to drop the whole ceiling down.  It won't be as tall but will make me happier in the end.  The drywall guys will be happier too.
