Sprayfoam...

So the city required me to get sprayfoam on the angled portion of the ceilings because it's technically considered an attic space, and that needs a very high R-value.  The sprayfoam doesn't meet that with 2x4 rafters, but they said it's fine since it's the highest that's reasonable.

And of course that means I have to take down the drywall that I already put on the ceiling in here to have them spray it in... That included the ceiling as well because they needed to spray an extra 2' up to prevent ice-dams on the roof in the winter since at the point where the flat and angled ceiling meet, the cellulose wouldn't provide a very high R-value.  I don't have any pictures of this because it was annoying to have to remove the stuff I put up a year earlier with my Dad.  Funny enough he helped me deal with all the cellulose as well.

Overall the process was pretty cool.  They used the low pressure sprayfoam instead of the high pressure since it wasn't that big of a job and it meant I didn't have to leave my house for 24-48 hours while it offgassed.  Still cost me $3k though...

Rear room electrical

I actually took good pictures of this room the first time since I didn't want to move the insulation again.  Unfortunately, I didn't re-take them after I ran the low voltage stuff...  This room had the same thing going on with the extra large single gang box because the wiring split.

This room also has an outside light and outlet for the balcony.  I'll install them when I do the siding.

Side room electrical

Because of where the breaker panel is, I had the outlet circuit break off in the two directions to loop around the room.  Because of the added 14/3 wire for the switched outlet and supply for the closet light, I had to order a special extra large single gang box to comply with NEC box fill requirements.

All of the closets have at least 1 outlet, along with a CAT6 jack

Here's the switches, all the bedrooms are basically the same.  Light closest to the door, fan in the middle, and outlet(s) on the right.

Lots of wires going places in these... Each of these light boxes took me about half an hour to terminate.

Front bedroom electrical

I wanted all the holes in the walls to be at the same height, so I used a harbor freight laser to make all the studs for all the holes and boxes.

Here's the level's I'm putting everything at for this room.  The adjacent rooms will be a bit different to making figuring out what wires will go where easier in the future.

There was this really cool old latch at the front by the one window, it looks like it was actually made by a blacksmith.  I wanted a box there, but I also didn't want to remove the latch, so I made a block to go around it.

Here it is with the 120V and ethernet/coax run in the corner.  Of course I made the ethernet and coax the same colors as romex... They are clearly different in person, but in pictures they're basically the same.  I'll be taking better pictures once I get the drywall on the ceiling and attic insulated so there's less junk laying around to get in the way.

Hallway electrical and subpanel

I'll be adding pictures of the hallway electrical once there stops being tons of stuff in the way.  I have the subpanel in the hallway and it'll get covered with a cabinet door later.  This picture is after the first part of all the circuits were done, all of the wires are labeled as well as them being labeled on the cover.

Each room as a separate lights and outlets breaker.  The lights power both the room and closet lights/fan, and there's also a switch for switched outlets on the light circuit.  The wire for the switched outlet goes through all the boxes so people can decide later which boxes they want to make switched.  This also allows each room to draw up to 35 amps which is nice.  If I was doing this again, I would just make the switched outlets on the same breaker as the rest of the outlets and use 12/3 instead, although it costs about the same.  For the most part, it is one continuous piece of copper from the breaker all the way to the last outlet on the circuit, which is cool.

Wrapping up framing

These weren't all done together, but it makes sense to group them all together since it's all framing.  I shrunk the weird closet a bit because the ceiling just got too low for the wall to be useful.

And the wall with the door way.  This door is going to look hilarious.

Front room closet wall, it's going to have 2 narrow doors which swing out

Master bedroom closet, it's a bit bigger than before, but not having the chimney makes it seem much larger on the inside.  I also tried to make it the correct dimensions to fit a washer/dryer for when I move up there.

Of course now that I'm done with this angled wall framing I'm actually getting the hang of it...  It fit perfectly.

And the extra small wall to cover the main plumbing stack.  I really wish that pipe wasn't crooked...

Removing wall sheathing/insulation

To build the closet walls and do the electrical I have to remove all the inside sheathing and insulation.  The insulation will get put into the attic later, and the walls will have fiberglass.

It was supposed to get really cold, so I decided to put plastic up on the living room ceiling since I could feel hot air coming up through the holes in the floor upstairs.  It worked pretty well, and honestly I think it looks better than before (although still terrible).
