Work on basement and ceiling fan
March 16, 2007 on 2:22 pm | In House | | By: JamesIn case everybody hasn’t heard yet, we are currently trying to finish our basement. Things are coming along pretty good. The basement is almost completely framed (the walls have been put up). I’m currently running the electricity and other wires (ethernet, phone, cat5, speaker wire). We decided to wire it for surround sound while we are at it. I’ve added a photo gallery with some photos of the progress of the basement.
Also decided to install my ceiling fan last night. The first thing that I needed to do was install a new ceiling fan box. I took the old one out, but while doing it a big chunk of plaster fell out of the ceiling. Doh. So now that needs to be fixed too. Finally got the box in, but since the ceiling needs repaired, I’m going to wait to put it up until the ceiling has been patched and painted. I also think I’m going to add more support for the box also.

The joy of working on an old house. I had to remove the old box in the ceiling to put a new one in for the fan, and of course a chunk of the plaster falls out of the ceiling. Guess I get to fix that and repaint it before I put the fan back in.
On a seperate note, I’ve finally installed the door knobs on the upstairs bathroom doors. That required notching out some of the wood in the frame and the door for the old door knob style.
