Last night my Dad and I rehung the can lights…well atleast most of them. The mounting rails on the things are so flimsy a couple of them were a real pain in the ass. I don’t think any are shown in these pictures, but then again they really aren’t that exciting.

Per the request of one of my loyal followers here are some pictures of the trash filled garage as it was as of last night:

I finally put the cabinet order in yesterday. I believe production time should be 3-4 weeks. Probably a week or two before they’re to be delivered I will go pick out a granite slab.

Worked on a bunch of things today. Finally finished the bulk head around the plumbing in the dining area. I guess my day of metal stud work and thumb slicing was a waste because I ended up finishing the thing in wood. The only part that stayed metal was the piece of track I had installed.

I would say that 40% of the ceiling is furred out now. I struggled to get some of the can lights down and reinstalled at the new ceiling height, but the living room area is almost done. Hopefully work my way back to the kitchen during the week so that the electricians can finish up this coming weekend.

Here are some pictures…

Underside of the bulkhead:

Living room ceiling now:

Basement door framing finished:

Gotta call up Canton Kitchens tomorrow and put the cabinet order in. Hopefully drywall will get ordered soon too.

Got the under stair framing done today as well as most of the doorway to the basement. My Dad spent the entire day putting cardboard and painters tape all over the new stairs to protect them. I told him at the start of the day it was going to take him the entire day and he said no way. It took him the entire day. Haha. Anyways here are some pictures:

Tomorrow I’ll finish up the door framing to the basement and a little bit upstairs. Then we are gona put furring strips on all the joists on the 1st floor. Hopefully some more updates tomorrow.
