Basement Update - 2007/01/07




Well, I don't have pictures of everything that has transpired, but I've been busy! Here's a point form list of what's been going on:
  • front outlets reconnected (new wires fished to each)
  • side room/upstairs circuit fixed (upstairs bedroom on one circuit now, side room switches and office on another)
  • bathroom exhaust fan installed, wall drilled and chiseled to allow installation of energy saving vent
  • both the dryer and exhaust fans now have the same vents, the last picture above shows how they prevent influx of outside air (the picture here shows the dryer in use)
  • bathroom circuit roughed in
  • support for pool table lamp roughed in as well as electrical box
  • partition wall beside stairs removed
  • jacuzzi tub junction moved to under tub

The work needs to continue, though. Here's what's up next:

  • adjust pot light placement over Vanessa's art area
  • adjust pot light placement over pool table, wire in pool table light, remove pre-wired dimmer switch from original rough-in
  • complete bathroom circuit, including outlets in art area
  • replace feed to washer/dryer
  • tie down loose wires, pipes
  • make bulkheads around ductwork
  • add nailing edges as needed
  • after drywall is moved downstairs, build new partition wall beside stairs, jack up the room above and make it a supporting wall.
