Today we cut all the outlet and switch boxes in the second floor and completed the first floor (or nearly). We also cut the new door opening for the laundry room. We cut out the remaining drain piping that we will not need in the future. We did a little more demo, related to the hall-kitchen opening.
We looked closely in the attic and cut a hole through the front kneewall on the second floor. We will spend money on insulation this summer for those areas, 1950's insulation is not quite as insulating and what we do today.
Tonight Jenm's dad comes with a utility trailer. We will truck garbage to the transfer station tomorrow.
After dinner, second shift work will include cleaning up in the laundry room, papering the floor and teardown of insulation in the garage ceiling. The garage ceiling was originally insulated with 3" insulation and covered over with cardboard. The new plan will be 10" insulation and drywall. The insulation must come down because we have to run new wires to the first floor rooms for light and power.
Tomorrow we buy a couple of special drill bits, the service wire for the new panel and some more electrical boxes. Hopefully we can start pulling wire.
The focus is now on the second floor, since we learned our cabinets won't arrive until June. This week we buy appliances.
