Shoring up the second floor and Roughing in Electrical

With floor boards removed on the second floor, we sistered new joists next to old ones.  Then blocked inserts between the joists.  This eliminated the springy feeling, and it's now rock solid.

With the floor boards still removed, we have roughed in electrical upstairs.  Ceiling lights for the first and second floors, and second floor outlets and lights switches.  Done.

And the first floor bathroom.


Still much to do, but we've come a long way!
