Shocking News!

Actually.... we did stuff this week to PREVENT shocks! Here's a subtle before and after shot...you may have to look in previous posts on this Blog to find out what was changed this week! (the ladder doesn't count).

BEFORE:




















AFTER:


Inside: I have wired the outlet boxes for the kitchen (the close-up is so my brother-in-law can tell me I did it all wrong!). Not sure it's to code but the town council can't find the code anyway...so not to worry.















What you've been waiting for: the Answer to the before and after question...

1. The electrical cable in the gutter is gone! (what were they thinking?). It went from the electrical box, out a hole in the foundation, around the side of the house, up behind the corner of the vinyl siding, across the gutter and into the bathroom. The new cable stays inside, through the basement ceiling and up the pantry wall. Unfortunately... the 48" bathroom vanity top got destroyed in the process of attempting to move it out from the wall!

2. You have to look at the far right of the first photo for this one. Gary, who loves to make more work for himself, insisted on taking out an old stove pipe (for a wood stove) out of the kitchen wall as it would stick out of the sheetrock about an eighth of an inch. I thought it would be behind a cabinet anyway, so who cares? Gary won, but then lost, because when he went to repair the hole in the roof over the kitchen window (notice missing chimney cap), ALL of the black shingles fell off and he ended up replacing the entire roof on the little "butt out" in the kitchen...in 90 plus degree temperatures.

Next week: the kitchen door is removed and a wall put up in it's place.
