Wired

We got an early morning call from the electrician who asked if he could come over today (Sunday of the Labor Day Weekend) to continue his work. We had no plans so we gave him the green light. So it was a lazy day of reading the Sunday paper and napping on the couch downstairs as more sheet rock was cut away and reels of wires were snaked around the rooms. But most of the receptacles are in the studs so now we get a sense of where we'll be plugging things in and turning on lights, etc.

All of the recessed lighting is in place in both rooms now.

With many parts of the room down the studs, it's interesting to see occasional notes in pencil from the original builders on the studs. An "S" on the stud where a switch was to be placed by an electrician fifty years ago.

Our electrician, by contrast, is far more prolific. Soon to be covered by sheet rock will be his many notes to himself, his mathematical calculations, and his measurements. Indeed, at some point in the next century, someone will have fun uncovering all this and finding so much writing in the walls.
