Bathroom photos

Clean Up!!!!

We finished most of the electric the last three days.Tin ceiling room is complete!!!!! That room originally had only one outlet now it has three!!!! Also the light fixture was not properly mounted and now is secure!!!!! When we bought the house this room had a hole in the ceiling and was the room that I thought needed the most work but now it is my favorite!!!!! We installed the tin ceiling about 3 years ago and I LOVE my ceiling!!! The dining room which is the next room over has a new light switch,and 5 new outlets !!!!! This room originally had two outlets but only one was functioning!!!! The hole in the ceiling is still there !!!! We ran out of time to put in a light fixture,also we have to buy a new ceiling fan. I decided to put my vintage chandelier in the living room instead of the dining room.We rewired half of the kitchen and pulled wire through the living room but didn't finish.Trent has to go back to work today so we will pick up where we left off next week end.Today I will be cleaning up the plaster dust, wire ,tools and trying to get back to a functioning household!!!

Electric part two

We are finishing the electric in our house.We replaced the second floor and the basement electric last year and part of this year.We decided to start the middle floor today.It is a very overwhelming and messy job!!!!! All three light fixtures are gone and wire is sticking out. I have a beautiful chandelier waiting to go up in the dining room or living room ( can't decide which room to put it in) Tomorrow we will pull electric wire from ceilings to walls.It will be exciting (especially when all is complete)!!! It has been a family project!!!! Here are a few photos taken from hubby's iphone.

Basement update

This past weekend was very busy.My hubby decided to work on rewiring the basement.We pulled old wires and put new ones in.He made a lot of new outlets(always needed) My teenage son helped with putting up some insulation.i am hoping we can start closing up some walls and then start the fun stuff!!!!! I love to paint so I am anxious!!!!!

Electric!!!(still working on it!!!!)

Sunday our electrician cancelled and my hubby and I decided we need to wrap this up.So,we started opening walls and added 3 new outlets and a light in our closet by ourselves!!!!! We had two locations that didn't work out ,not a problem!!! I stopped freaking out about holes in the walls .I know they will get patched up!!!! It is so good to finally see my clothes in the closet.My side was so dark and I forgot about a lot of clothes I had because I never saw them. I hope we can go into the basement today and work on the bathroom!!!!

Pictures of new electric!!!!!

Here are a few pictures of our new electric!!!! I tried not to follow the electrician around with my camera but I needed some photos to show you!!!! I poked my head thru the attic opening and snapped away!!!! For me having more outlets was the exciting part!!!! I think we have one more day of the electrician coming over.i hope we will be done ,I want to continue with the bathroom and basement.We stopped everything because we had to put our funds toward the electric.The first picture is of hubby (he is the junior electrician!!!!)The last picture is our old wiring!!!!

Back from weekend getaway!!!!

This weekend hubby and I went to Michigan for a retreat.We had a blast!!!! I thought I would come back rested but we ended up staying up half the night( every night) that I am exhausted!!!!! i was also sorry i booked clients for us to do on Monday but that is what pays the bills!!!! Today the electrician came back and was working on our upper level switching out old wires and adding new outlets!!!! I am excited about getting an outlet on my side of the room!!!! We basically ran extension cord to extension cord and it looked so ugly!!!! My pet peeve is wires from all the "stuff" (computers,tv's ,etc.) Hopefully when we are all done the rooms will look tidier!!!! I tried to sneak a few photos while they were working but I did not want to explain why I was taking pictures for my blog.I will post them tomorrow!!!!

New electric!!!!!

It has been an exciting time around our house.We are rewiring the whole house with "new electric"!!!! So far we only had to tear apart one wall!!!! It was one we just put up in the spring.Hubby sealed it up right away.It just needs more mud and sanding and then I will repaint. We have an electrician doing the job with hubby as his apprentice.Trent is learning so much (for our next house!!!!) There is probably one more day of work next week and we should be all good!!!! This house is from 1898 and we had an outlet per room so we had extension cords running all over. This will be much safer!!! Also they will add outlets outside and more lighting.
