It's been just under a year since I finished the last big project so it's time to take on another one. This time it's the corner of the house with the master bedroom/bathroom/closet, server closet and half bath.
I'm trying to make as many changes to the bedroom as possible before getting to the part where it's uninhabitable so for now that means wiring. The old entrance to the bedroom (shown) is where the light switch is + an overstuffed box that would give UnderoosAg nightmares. The light switch needs to be moved to the entrance to the bedroom (+ running wiring for lights to around the perimeter of the room and one for downlighting for the bed.
This is where the initial run from the breaker panel leads to and I don't want to do another one so I'm going to have a junction box facing the other side of the wall with the soundproofing (server closet) that will branch off to the outlets and the new switch location. One of the gray wires has to stay because it runs to the light in the server closet. Not sure which one it is yet.
Anyway it's off to a slow start but the wiring should be done by the end of the weekend and hopefully the new bedroom ceiling light will also be in. It's really heavy so there may be some framing work involved too.
What I could figure out with the multimeter...
Previous owners might have owned a badger.
Definitely a badger.
The wiring mess
All done for the day, at least I know where everything goes!
