House weekend

And the prepping for drywall continues…

Saturday Ryan screwed down all the firring strips in the tv room (ceiling), then we installed all the recessed light canisters and the fan/light box in there. I also got the back row of recessed lights wired. They have push in connectors which are much faster than wire nuts. I also found some time to move my scrapbooking crafts from my sewing room to the guest room and get that room setup so now it’s a combo guestroom/craftroom. My sewing room with be for just sewing (also has a futon and a tv/dvd player so Ryan can visit me in there) 🙂

Sunday Ryan finished the firring strips in the bathroom’s ceiling (he had to put up the metal ones) while I moved all the loose/extra wood we had upstairs down to the basement for storage. Then I set up some new shelves in the upstairs diningroom and moved all our china and kitchen items that were stored in the real diningroom up to the shelves. This is preparation for demo of the interior walls, the less stuff that’s downstairs, the less that can get dusty from plaster 🙂
