See this is when you know someone thinks things out. Paints wall before putting in a floor. You have no idea how many times I’ve seen the reverse done and I just shake my head lol
Done it that way almost every time. After the floors down we could then properly match wall colors. Although we did learn about plastic sheets early on. [emoji6]

Still on coffee. You know how things get when leaving for a few days. Work part 1 starts....
 
Starting early again. Last few weeks of summer so this is fitting. Don’t mind the windows my wife is already on my case that I didn’t clean them after we power washed the house lol. @TheDudeLebowski

We had 13 windows. Roughly 10k and that was 10 years ago. But they were all custom windows because in an old house the walls are thicker and the windows are weird sized. If you’re going to do electrical best to tear the walls down to the studs. Ugh. I feel for you.

Yeah, I figured somewhere in the $500-1000 per window, so yeah...no! Electrical, yeah no! The walls are lathe and plaster and the ceilings are all cove/rounded, so someone's going to be fishing lines I think. Anyways, the likelihood that we'll do electrical before/if we sell the house is slim-to-none. The only major work around is the kitchen wall breaker gets tripped when trying to operate more than one appliance at the same time (ie: toaster oven and microwave, espresso and whatever, Vitamix and, etc).

We actually just ran into that issue. The previous owners had 8 outlets one 1 - 15 amp breaker. 4 of the outlets were in the kitchen which the toaster and toaster oven are on 2 of them. We found our junction box in the basement rather easily and and just split them between 3 new circuits with the two appliance outlets their own

Probably a lot easier to do than the electrical nightmare that is knob-and-tube and "junction box" we have going on. I use the word junction box loosely...I mean they do come to a junction and it is a box, so...
