Well, We Almost Had a Fire! (and I'm not talking about in the fireplace!)

Nice, huh?  Kade took down the old ceiling fan in the basement family room and this is what he uncovered!  We are lucky!!  Not sure exactly WHY this happened, possibly from a light bulb that was too big??  Doesn't matter now though...it's down and we are safe from that hazard!

So after Kade got the fan down he came in to the basement bedroom....he was tracing electrical wires...and here he found that all of the outlets for the big bedroom upstairs (our bedroom) are in a stinkin' junction box.  Ugh!  Hopefully he's not going to have to pull down all of the insulation from the ceiling and rewire the entire house!! (but I do know how he is...a little OCD on his electrical work)

 

Here's Kade giving the junction box the look of death ;)

 

While he was messing with the electric I started pulling out the beautiful (NOT) orange carpet!!  Got the bedroom done.  Will try and get the rest out tomorrow night.  I'm ready to be done with the demo!!  We're getting close now...all we have left to tear out are the wood boxes beside the fireplace, the orange carpet in the basement family room and the plaster/fixtures from the main floor full bath.  If we weren't trying to not tear everything up this would have gone a whole lot faster!!
