It is impossible to explain what a large drill bit sounds like as it encounters 93-year-old wood. I escaped outdoors but the poor building inspector could not.
(Please note that we are continuing to recycle during the mayhem.)
The current location of the kitchen light switch is not optimal since it is located almost 6 feet from the dining room door.
But the new one? What a novel idea to put it right inside the door.
The old lady was a challenge for the electrician when he tried to install the can lights and exhaust fan over the stove. Let's see; 5 holes for 3 fixtures? Could have been worse. He is working with a ceiling that has the original lath and plaster from 1917 and drywall that was added in the 60s.
Ah, the sink side was easier. 3 holes? 3 fixtures.
We have been very pleased with all the trades that have worked in the house. They are such hard workers. The electrician and his helper left around 8:30. They swept the whole kitchen. I should have taken a picture of it when there was hardly any floor showing through the lath and plaster and chunks of drywall.
But now for a break from it all as we head south tomorrow.
