And One Last One Just Because...
The rough wiring is now pretty much complete with the exception of a few adds that I’ll write about another time. All of the wires are now stapled to the 2x4’s and tucked into their boxes. I put up a more pictures than normal because we never get to see what’s behind all of that sheetrock. Hopefully these pics will give you some idea.
Just looking at the wire runs makes me pause to think about how much work it is to run all of those wires to all of the lights and switches in our new house. As I’m writing this I'm thinking I should have counted how many there are. Maybe next time.
Once the rough wiring is fully wrapped up and the rough wiring inspection is completed by the local town wiring official and a couple of framing items are finished off, they’ll be in to insulate. Another step closer.
Enjoy your week.
