Electrics and Tidying

Today is an update in two halves. First of all what the men got up to and then what I got up to. Angela was also busy today, cleaning and tidying downstairs, but I've no pictures however don't think she avoided the busy-ness of today!

The men have worked all day today to put the electrics in for the new lights. This involved drilling lots of holes in the very solid ceiling; it was such hard work that they went out and hired a drill for the day (they also had to mend this drill before they could use it!). The plan is to have two long LED strip lights per bay and all the cables for this have now been run. Halil upgraded the cable clips with larger nails to make them stronger in the ceiling and by the end of the day everything was wired back to the switch. Now we have to wait for the actual lights to be delivered.

I had a busy day tidying and sorting in various places. I sorted the end of the corridor and put up shelves and tidied everything there then made my way back up to outside Room 13. I also put up shelves in the Games Room and did a huge tidy in there before finally getting into the roof and making a load more progress there also. It was a lot of effort and now I'm tired but I'm happy to have achieved what I did; it all needs to be clean and tidy by Christmas really.

There is days more effort required in the roof but it is at least getting there. Thanks for reading; back on Monday.
