Well, it’s now about 8pm, and I’m calling it a day regarding any more project-like work. Overall, it was a pretty productive time. I didn’t get to as much as I’d hoped, but I’m not disappointed with where I ended up.

After all, I did get the replacement sheetrock up. That in and of itself was one of those things I’ve been putting off for nearly two years now. In addition, I got our office wired up (as much as I can for right now). There’s voice/video/data terminations in the wall now, but only one video feed currently works (it’s from the satellite switch) since I don’t have the structured media enclosure up. But, the remainder of the wiring is ready to go (long enough to reach the box in the basement) when the time comes.

I do, however, need to order some RCA to 110-style punchdown connectors (so I can run video and audio feeds over Cat5e between the office and the living room). The wire is all ready to go on both ends now, it just needs the modular connectors. Yay!

I didn’t get to doing any mudding on the seams between the sheetrock and the old plaster, but that’s mostly because I didn’t feel like getting all of that stuff out before I had supper. So that’ll be another project for another day. Still, that’s all that’s left to be done with that thing (short of texturing and painting once the mudding is complete).

Since I got most of that old sheet of sheetrock out of the basement, I took the opportunity to tidy up the basement a bit. It’s at least easier to walk around down there (funny how that works when you remove a 4’x8′ sheet of material from ‘the way’).

Anyway, that’s about all for now. Until next time…
