Well, the summer is over and the rain is here. Hard to believe it's already December. We spent a lot of time working on the house, and it really shows now. We worked on the porch, the roof, the electrical and the plumbing. While we still have a looooooong way to go, we made huge steps this year.
Before we could put the roof on, the electrical and plumbing had to be completed.
We had to decide where each of our pocket lights needed to go, as the wiring has to be run up through the roof system.
Each hole had to be cut from below and above since the tongue and groove is so thick.
When we were done, we had holes all over in the ceiling. It did rain once before we got the roof on, and we had water running down through some of these lights. Luckily, it wasn't much rain and didn't really hurt much.
Then the actual lights get put in from above and wired.
We had to drill holes in the stringers to connect the lights all together and then drill small holes in the ceiling to run the wires back down into the house to connect to the light switches. It was not easy figuring out where all the lights and switches needed to go. And Harvey and Dana framed up for the chimney.
