Drywall almost done in Laundry Room

Saturday, I got all the wiring completed. 6 new outlets and 2 new lights. The previous owner had taken lamps apart and one hanging over the washer/dryer and one in the closet under the stairs.

The trick with wiring is to start at the very end (the last, new wire each outlet back to the point where you make the connection t the outlet) and to the "live" power.










































Sunday morning, I went to home Depot and rented a "Dry Wall Lift" It would be impossible for one person to hold a 4' x 8' sheet of drywall over your head while you attach it to the floor joists, so this "lifts and holds" the drywall in place while you put about 25 screws in to hold it in place.

The other challenge is that you have to measure and cut out the holes where the "recessed can lights are". I use a "paint can" to trace the outline, then a drill to make a hole, and a jig saw to cut the pattern out. Plus, you have to cut out notches for pipes, or any other obstructions.
