Walls and Stuff

 The past week at house has been mostly wall related activity. We pulled off all the car siding in the living room, and de-nailed all the siding boards. We kept all the good pieces (the stack along the back wall) and are storing them in the wave shed for now. Future project wood.

 Zachary has been doing wiring in the kitchen and living room, updating switches and outlets. Also while the walls are open, we are installing wiring for home audio and network.

 Picked up drywall today, in a downpour, but luckily got it indoors without it getting ruined in the rain. 36 sheets.

Zachary had the idea of installing a decorative beam in the living room, to save on wire length for the home audio and to avoid patching already textured drywall on the ceiling. Once we figure out a color scheme for the room, we will stain the beam a color. We also replaced the ceiling fan for a little bigger one, moves the air around nice. We will be adding pendant lights to the beam too, in the same place were the original secondary lights were before.

Still have to run more wire (waiting on the speaker wire to arrive from Amazon), some misc. electrical, and some minor plumbing and we will be ready to hang drywall. This weekend hopefully.
