Look! Ceiling! It's even got lights!

| Thursday's Progress Look! Ceiling! It's even got lights! |
More Thursday: The corner for the fridge. I love looking at the new sheetrock at the top of the wall... that's how much higher our ceiling is now. |
 |
 |
| Friday's Progress They've started mudding and the lights are working! Neat! |
More Friday: They've run the piping for natural gas up to the kitchen. Now we have a big gaping hole in the ceiling of the bathroom in the basement. |

| Saturday's Progress The gasline is all hooked up, even if there's still a hole in the ceiling. And, even better, Mitch pulled out the old, failing bathroom fan and installed a new one. Typical of the sort of work done by the people who used to live here, the old fan had been wedged up into the ceiling and was being held up entirely by drywall tape. |
Here's a picture of the gasline in the kitchen, before it gets walled up. |

| Monday's Progress Heater Vent!!! Yes!!! (Or AC vent, depending on the time of year.) Believe it or not, there was no vent in the kitchen. None. This one will eventually be under the new cabinets and vent out through the kickboard at the bottom. No more sweltering in the kitchen in the summer and getting chilly in the winter. |
The texturing is done... now we just have to wait for it to dry. Looks like we won't be painting until Tuesday night. |
