Progress in the kitchen

This past week, progress in the kitchen was slow, but last Tuesday I got the biggest part of our project done (and yes, it works!). I managed to move two light switches from two separate walls and relocate them into one location as well as add another two receptacles. Since the house is about 50 years old, each trip to the attic and the breaker-box is another opened can of worms and questions as to what these guys were thinking when they built and wired this house.

However, this also created another extension of the kitchen project in the garage. The kitchen and garage are wired on the same breaker and use a 3-way switch to control the lights in the garage. In order for me to run a new and improved wire from the new switch to the existing switch in the garage, I had to break through some old sheet rock wallboard. That's OK, it was going to be replaced eventually when we update the garage in few years. I'll patch it with some leftover sheet rock when I get some. At least the new wiring is grounded, unlike the old braided wire that is in the house from 50 years ago. I'll be finalizing the garage switch today. Here's the garage photo:
