I mounted the electrical box. I was about to wire in the outlet when I realized that is done after the drywall is done. So I did the drywall. I was cutting the hole for the box with a pointy saw, when I got a spark, and the breaker tripped. :-)
So now drywall is complete on the west side except for one small piece. I was going to do the outlet on the north side, but in tracking down which breaker I need to flip, I got involved in mapping the circuits. I've forgotten which controls the west wall, with the fridge.
There's a circuit that controls: garage light, garage outlet, garage door opener, front yard light, radon fan, laundry room light, extra bathroom light and outlet, back hall light, one basement light, basement stairs light and back door light. There's another circuit that has only the two outlets in the laundry room. There's another circuit that controls one single outlet, near the kitchen, but not the lights and their switch in the same box. And I don't know what circuit that one is on. It's crazy.
Anyway, everything seems to take twice as long as I expect. That's not too bad - usually it's three times as long. So I didn't start on extending the conduit for the ceiling lights, or look at the other two conduits there. That's tomorrow's job. I really need to complete that because if I don't, I only have a couple of hours on Sunday that I can work on it. I'd like to go back to work on Monday.
By the way, I keep writing out the next day's plans, to help me keep it straight in my head, not because I think people want to hear me repeat myself. :-)
