Jim worked this morning building the small header wall in the metal shop.  That enabled him to run wire through that area and to the box for the smoke detector (the blue box at the top of the picture in the middle). 

Jim is making provisions for a small corner wall on the lower landing - the intake vent for the furnace will probably go up this wall as well as the electric.

Running the wire for the smoke detector to connect to the one on the upper landing.



I finally got to see the complete breaker box - it's so nice and neat!  Jim added another light in the bathroom today too.

I also took a peek up in the attic space - it's really nice to be able to go up and turn on the switch that lights up the whole area!  Can't wait to start filling it up soon!  But this is a picture showing how all the insulation is coming together up in the attic to make such a tight fit...the baffle vents the air from below, then the ceiling and wall insulations intersect.

 

 

While the temperatures haven't been warm lately, they've been at least doable because Jim has been spending so much time in the stairwell where it's not only unheated but has openings at the end of the rafters.  Thankfully he got so much done these past few days because the weather is turning colder starting tomorrow - with snow and ice on the way!  We're under a wither weather advisory from tonight through Saturday evening.
