day 3

(obviously these are not consecutive days)
ok, no new pics yet because there's nothing much new to see. i could have shown some pics of the switch boxes that the electrician nailed to the studs but i don't want to overstimulate anyone. i can see this thing taking shape and coming together. soon the kids and i will have to give up our street hockey games on the concrete floor. this past weekend i bought a spool of speaker wire and re-routed the wire i had running across the basement ceiling to the living room above. on monday, the electrician ran the cabling and roughed in a total of 11 recessed cans for lighting, 1 phone jack, 2 data jacks, 1 cable jack, and a boatload of electrical outlets. the heating guys is coming tomorrow to install the new heat ducts and returns. we are due for an inspection at the beginning of next week, and by the july 4th holiday (or more likely right after) we should be looking at insulation and drywall. we can start looking at and deciding on paint, trim, and carpet samples very soon.
