Remodel – Slow progress

It has taken a while to understand the best way to move forward on the electrical in the basement, but I think I finally have a handle on it and know how to proceed.  I was thinking that I would add a new circuit and pull a new line from the garage to the other end of the house in the family room.  Instead, I think I will be able to add on to the existing circuit that supplies our guest room.
I’ve also installed insulation in the laundry room, hallway, and in parts of the family room, though some of the installation in the family room will have to come out because in changes to how much new wiring we are doing.
Progress is coming in installing speaker wire for the surround sound system.  Here I want to mount all the speakers high on the walls with the majority of the wiring running in the walls.
The greatest progress has been made by my wife and her friend who put in a massive amount of hours last weekend to tile the laundry room and hallway.  It looks fantastic, well you can judge for yourself by looking at the pictures below.

Remodel Progress – its all arrived, now what?

I wish I could focus on the remodel and not be distracted by everything else that I need to get done, especially the job searching.  For the most part, we are moving forward at a fairly constant but slow pace.   This week a lot has happened.
Finished up replacing the new exterior wall.  If you remember the water damage went through the exterior wall behind the washer and dryer.

We gutted the laundry room in June and have now completed the repairs to the outside wall except for the final coat of paint.
