Now this place is finally looking like something. All the framing for the rooms is finished. It took the framer about 4 days. We filled in 3 exterior doors and 3 windows. We were able to to recycle one of the windows and put it in an old door opening. Yay for saving money and being creative.
We have also dug up the master bathroom concrete and installed the pipes for the new bathroom.
Next up is to call the city and have it inspected. Cross your fingers for me that it gets approved.
Then it's time to put in the overhead pipes in, the drywall, and some new insulation. It's getting closer.

Electircal
Blah, what a pain in the ass! I got bids ranging from $9,000 to $2,500. I'm now finished with the rough. Which means all the wires and electrical boxes that get installed before the drywall gets filled in.
I didn't imagine all the decisions and organization that would be needed for this part of the project. I guess a lot of the goes into the fact I went with the $2500 bid and not the $9000. After all is said and done though I think it's going to be pretty sweet. The house is going to have 20 can lights and 30 feet of track lighting that all use dimmable led bulbs. There should also be enough outlets so that no more fights with my girlfriend about whose hogging the plugs break out.
