Today I made some decent progress on our basement.  I started the “Electrical” phase of the project and ran cabling for the outlets in the music room and living room.  Nikki's step-father came over to help too, which sped up the process significantly.  This is about as far as I can go with the electrical work for now until Nikki and I decide what we want to do for lighting.  Once we figure that out, there'll be a lot more cable to run. 

I took a few pictures to document the day.  I also added a new subfolder for ductwork in the BasementProject image library.  Nothing too exciting, but it shows all the custom ductwork we've put in so far. 

With luck and a lot of will-power, the basement will be completely wired up by the middle of February.  By March, all of the framing might be complete.  And by mid-March all of the drywall might be up.  And by summer the whole project might be done.  With no luck and my usual procrastination, it'll be done next winter.  :)
