Sheetrock tomorrow

Attic walls and ceiling go up tomorrow, along with patches in the rest of the house, like the kitchen and entry ceilings which we opened for plumbing work. Everything is insulated and wired and ready to be closed up. My son and a friend of his helped me pull several runs of hot pink cat5e ethernet cable from the attic to the basement last weekend, along with a shielded cable for balanced audio between family room and attic.

I also ran simple phone wire to connect our telephone ringer, a nice two-tone bell that Betsy's grandmother rented from AT&T for some 40 years. After her grandmother passed away, Betsy called AT&T and told them the bell had been paid for decades ago so we were keeping it.
