mudding and wiring

First, here is the most current photo of our new drywall section with all the mudding done.  we need to sand it and then we're going to paint that half of the living room.

Mitchie's day before thanksgiving project was to tear down the bathroom wall to rewire.  I wasn't expecting that, so I got home and found the bathroom a war zone.  Messy!

We've been using the Black & Decker book as a how to.  I guess I should say "mitch" and not "we."  I don't mess around with wiring.

The black wiring is the old wiring, the gray wiring is Mitch's new wiring. 

New light switch, not yet all the way in its home:

Last but not least, a beer can from 1938 and a ginger ale bottle from who knows when (sometime before 1965, when this company apparently went out of business) that Mitch found in the walls/crawl spaces while trying to wire.

Next will be more painting, then hopefully drywalling and tiling the bathroom.
