When removing everything they had to cut through one of the rafters. (not all the way though though). He was bringing some supplies back today to reinforce and brace the rafter they cut then remove the one piece that you see. 36 minutes ago, Mr. Grumpy said: The dog looks concerned the roof might cave in. Sandy was vary concerned with all of the noise and now the missing wall. She used to sleep in the bed you can see on the floor up against the wall that is no longer there. Sandy does not do change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, that's the piece holding up the roof. I am losing some storage and I think like 3 different outlets that were in the wall around the faarplace. I was planning on keeping the wire that came through the floor to those outlets and wiring some new outlets into the floor. But nope. As you can see the wiring for the faarplace and the outlets came down out of the ceiling. When I put the new floor in I may try to put a few outlets in, we'll see how hard it's gonna be to fish wire through. Also going to put an outlet up in the ceiling where the wire is coming out. Then I can add another ceiling fan or track lighting if I want to in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted September 10, 2020 Share #58 Posted September 10, 2020 You could put an Outlet in the ceiling and dangle an extension cord down to a power strip, that would look redneck cool. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parr8hed Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share #91 Posted September 17, 2020 Ordered two grand worth of cabinets with a counter top. They are white. Probably won't see them for another week and a half. Ordered matching counter tops for the existing kitchen cabinets (that we painted white last year). We should have counter tops about a week after we see the cabinets. Just have floors left to purchase and a kitchen sink. Had fielding practice last night, pitching lessons AND batting practice tonight then in Indianapolis all weekend for a big tourney. So it will be a bit before I can devote any time to the floors.
