Tomorrow is D-day for the start of work on the unfinished basement in our house. I've been primed with an 8 week home wiring and two weekend drywall and taping course. Sixty studs, eighteen 2x4x12 base and top plates and nails - along with my father-in-law - await me.I'm going in with the feeling it's going to be difficult and the hope that it won't be as bad as I think. The one thing I am truly confident with it my wiring skills. The eight week course truly prepped me for the task. I thought I was ready with the 'Home Wiring 1-2-3" book from Home Depot, but one's eyes truly get opened when being trained by a 30 year veteran in the trade.
Of course I get ahead of myself there as the walls have to go up first. That's what my father-in-law, Ron, is coming over for. I am a man, but I'm not afraid to admit when I don't know how to do something properly (my better half might argue that's not always the case) and will need assistance.
So wish us luck and I'll post pictures of our progess perhaps on Sunday night.
