The Last One's - I Think?

The wire for the wall oven, microwave and coffee counter are done, and I put in a switch for an under counter light. This isn't wired in yet as I don't have the cabinets built, and it won't be a problem to run the wire once I have everything together. The microwave and plug for the coffee are on separate breakers, this way if we use the plug by the coffee machine and microwave at the same time there will be enough power. I also put up a couple of boards in the dining room for the installation of a TV bracket and not knowing where or how big it might be I thought I'd give myself a firm surface to secure it. As well in the living room I put up two pieces of ¼ inch plywood to help support the in ceiling speakers, the drywall will go flush up to them and then the speaker clamps screw down on both,it will be a bit stronger then just drywall.


Looking south in the living room, you may be able to see the supports.

This is the support in the south east side of the room

The south west side, nothing special to see but there they are.

This is the east wall in the kitchen where the wall oven,
microwave and coffee will be.

The east wall in the dining room. I marked them so I'll know
were they are after the drywall goes up.

And More Wiring

I had a good day, for a Sunday that is. I ran the wires and put up the boxes for the kitchen lights, once I get simple fixtures I'll be able to turn on the breaker. Next I'll get the living room lights wired, the ones that will go by the future book shelves, which will be on either side the of the built in TV stand. As I mentioned previously, it's Sunday so a rest day it is.

Switches for the lights. One for over the sink and the other for the rest.

I think I have them in a strait line.
The one with the bulb on the left will go in the pantry.

Just had to drill a few holes to get the wires run safely.

Getting Wired

It seems like it takes for ever just to get a wire run, in this case it took a few hours to run the power for the future cook top and a few plugs. This is because I had to lift up the plywood sub-floor and a couple of boards from the sub sub-floor to have better access to run this old range wire. I also ran a new wire for a GFI plug right of the sink and re-used an old line for another plug and lights. This one will be a split receptacle so lots of plugs on separate lines and we shouldn't have a power problem if we have several things plugged in.

This is the cook top line, I had to drill through the sill beam, and I felt better having a nailing
plate over the wires path. Not that anything will happen, I just want to be careful.

Feed line for a new GFI plug on the right side of the sink.

The location of the new plugs and switches. One of the switches at the end will control the
light over the sink, the other is for the other three kitchen lights.
