Well, unfortunately, not much progress to report today. The contractors ran into some issues with the electrical they were running, and it looks like they had to re-run a lot of the original wiring. The previous owners used the wrong gauge of wiring, and if we were to add the new appliances and outlets, we would've been blowing fuses like there's no tomorrow. So they did wiring mostly today, and then hung about 6 panels of drywall on the ceiling. the apparatus shown here is what they use to when drywalling (is that a word?) the ceiling. It holds it up for them so they don't need more than one or two people to do it. Each sheet of drywall is 4' x 8' and weighs about 55 lbs. That would be a little tough to hold up. So it looks like our time frame for completion has moved back a little further. It's really difficult not having a kitchen!
