Two Days of Work

Yesterday G. did a few things at the house to get ready for when our friend (the electrician) came today.

He took down the ceiling fan from the kitchen:
And put up the $2 cheapie light we'd picked up on clearance at the beginning of this whole remodel. It is in the living room, where there was no light:
Now the kitchen ceiling has holes for the recessed lighting when we remodel it:
(we'll need to have the ceiling patched where the exhaust and ceiling fans were.)


But most of the electrical was done downstairs. One of the conduits was removed:
And re-routed off the box that leads to the garage:
Here is the new plug:
And one outlet was roughed out in the medium bedroom:
We were left with a list of things to work on and supplies to buy before our friend comes back to do more work.

We also got one more estimate on the bathroom that was so far below all the others that I have to be missing something. This estimate was not a full package, though--this was one where we bought the stuff and he would put it in, etc. So I can't compare it exactly to the other "full service" estimates. I have to collect some other things (prices on a window, tub, toilet, sink, vanity, etc.) before I know if it's really a good deal.
