One at a time

Outlet that is. As you might know, our upstairs has been, well, lacking in the electrical department. In fact, when we moved in, there weren't any outlets at all in the little bedroom. Matt and Mark put one in a while ago, but on Sat Matt decided it was time for one more. 

Here you can see Matt, with Leroy's help, finding the perfect position for the new outlet.

And here he is cutting out the hole

At that point he went up into the attic and did lots of things I dont' have pictures of to make it possible to run wire. All I know is that it involved some 12/2 wire, a 48.5 inch 2x4 and some screws. But after about an hour, we were ready to run it down the wall. It took three tries, mostly because the plaster walls provide numerous opportunities to get stuck on the way down, but eventually we made it.

And here's the finished product. One down, two more to go!
