The electricians were here all last week and got the electric work roughed in. They were great and had lots of questions for us that got us thinking about using the space functionally... things like adding an extra switch to turn off a light when exiting the room on the other side, or moving an outlet down a little further, etc.
Here are some photos of the work...

Light switches next to the opening from the living room.
Now that they've removed the plywood, the opening seems HUGE! |

| These are the switches that will control a bunch of lights in the kitchen & butler's pantry area. |

| This is the unfinished work of the wires running down to the basement. |

In addition to the overhead light in the attic space, we asked them to add extra electric lines, so that we can finish that off as an extra little room some day. They also put an outlet on the landing. I'm thinking that I'll put a little buffet table at this spot, and it would be nice to have a little lamp...
We just moved that black cable wire, so we don't have to step over it each time we go up there!
Mike is also in the process of running a Gig-E cable so that we don't have to worry about spotty wireless service in the media room. We had been considering getting a wireless booster, but this seems like a better idea for the TV & kids' gaming systems... we didn't need them sucking up the wireless bandwidth every time they were watching/playing.
