First Floor Electrified--YEA !!

                                                                                                                                                                  
 I am cutting out the tin ceiling for the dining room. After cutting the tin ceiling, I painted it white.
 The hole is cut to put a chandelier there. 


The kitchen floor came up very easily, but not the room above it.  I had to use a heat gun.  Worked great.










This picture made me so HAPPY.  The first floor tape wiring is working.  Yea !!!  Now I will finish the first floor.  Should not take long.

First Floor




This and the next two pictures are of the first floor living room.  I am attaching the tape wiring.  In the first picture, on the far front right is the place where I am going to run the wire tape up to the ceiling for the hanging lights.  That is the only cut splice in this room.  It is important NOT to cut the tape.  The tape was run around the front door.  The coach lights on the outside of the front door wires are threaded through to the inside and will be solder to the tape wire inside.






 The next three pictures are the dining room.  Tape is run around the room and a cut piece will be run up the wall to the ceiling.  The tape is threaded through to the kitchen.  There is still lots to do in this room: wall paper, ceiling tin (needs to be painted), buff up the floor, put up the ceing and floor molding.....put in doors.


 This is the kitchen.  It was really hard to get the old flooring taken off.  There was tons of glue residue in the back right corner.  I had to take a chisel to get the floor up in that corner.  I have Kilz the walls.  Have to put up tape wiring, paint and put up tin ceiling, put up wall paper and put down tile floor.  Then up goes the ceiling and floor molding.  Oh, I forgot about the tape running up the wall to the ceiling for the ceiling lights.






This is my sweetie husband sanding the ruff dried glue off the kitchen floor so the tile floor will go down .

Take care,
