As you know from our Give it the Juice post, the electrical wiring running through our little nest was a Grade A death trap extremely unsafe. So, we made the decision to replace every last wire, outlet, and switch. Enter our amazingly talented brother in law, Jamie.
Jamie is a Captain with the Greenville Fire Department by day, but he has the skills and experience to wire an entire house and, for that (and him!), we are grateful.
Here are some shots of Jamie and his handy work:

It was super tricky to rewire the second floor bonus space because we did not want to remove the paneling to open up the walls like in the downstairs space. We don’t know how Jamie did it, but we are impressed!
So, now that our little nest is wired, we have to schedule an initial inspection and once we pass, we will be able to come back and add in the switches and outlets, etc.
Considering that we have never seen our house with the lights on, this is a huge deal. We can’t wait to be able to hook up the power and see her with the brights on. Feels good to be one step closer! 🙂
