Keep on Working

Since we both had the day off, we decided to get some more work done in the living room. Originally we were not going to remove the plaster and lathe from the south and north walls, but after rethinking some wiring things, we decided to just go ahead and do those two walls as well. What's a little more plaster to clean up and lathe to burn, right?

So we started the day on the south wall.


We got most of it done.




I'd like to take this chance to update the whole knob and tube wiring thing because I got that wrong before. Andrew re-explained it to me. So this little white guy going through the stud is the tube:
Its purpose is to keep the wire from touching the wood and causing an electrical catastrophe.

The knob is this little white guy:
His job is to hold the wire in place.

So there you have it. Knob and tube wiring: still a pretty simple concept.
