September 6: We picked up the drywall.
|
It took us two full bed-loads to get it home.
|
The limo had to be moved out to make room.
|
Holy angled-shot, Batman!
|
The first truckload is done.
|
These are 10-footers.
|
Keith puts in the foyer drywall for the insulation.
|
This section used two 4x8 foot sheets.
|
Now, we cannot see into the foyer from the dining room.
|
September 13: The trim around the laundry chute. Say, "Bye-bye."
|
Above the former chute is a new switch for a new/old light.
|
The switch was cake to install as was the wiring to it.
|
The wiring for the new ceiling fan, however, required some access holes.
|
Because of the large ceiling fan switch, a second box to contain the wire-nuts had to be added.
|
This is the speed control fan & light switch.
|
Here is the new $100 ceiling fan. 52 inches, baby!
|
Adventures in the uninsulated attic.
|
Old wires we removed, junction boxes added, and new wires run.
|
Look at the patheticly undersized vent openings. They were cut out.
|
This is the light box for an old light the previous owners "pushed into the ceiling" and covered up. We restored it.
|
Here is the juntion box that sends power to the fan and the bedroom wall socket.
|
This odd wire runs the length of the roof. 1930s technology for...
|
...an internal roof antenna. Insulated at the ends by these glass insulators.
|
Here is the new ceiling fan box installed with old waterbed boards.
|
This odd screen covers a vent opening into the chimney.
|
This is the last junction box before the only outlet in the master bedroom. Now there are four more outlets in the same room on two different circuits.
|
Here is the hole where a light used to be. We are re-installing it.
|
The box is bolted to a 2x4 and can hold up a gorilla.
|
Instead of a gorilla, it holds this small fixture.
|
This is the wire to the new switch.
