Kitchen Renovation Project: Day Four Electritians Pulling Wire

http://www.andrewseltz.com

My New York City apartment is getting a badly needed kitchen renovation. I've torn out the old cabinets and appliances and will be replacing them with cabinets, counters, refrigerator and a sink from Ikea along with a new stove, microwave range hood, and a dishwasher from Sears. But, today is electrician day and they've come to replace the fuse panel and completely rewire the kitchen space.

This wave of the project is focused on the basics and the electrical work. Later I want to dress things up with a tile backsplash, a new floor, and some under-cabinet task lighting.

Day four was focused on getting the electrical work done. The electricians were extremely efficient and got the entire kitchen rewired in less than 1 day. The new breaker box is installed and all the outlets are in place.

Ikea also delivered the cabinets and sink today. It's very important to do a complete inventory when you get your order to ensure that you have all of the parts and don't find yourself in the middle of an installation and missing something important.

Finally, I also went to the building supply company and ordered the materials for closing up the walls. It gets delivered tomorrow.

If you're doing a smaller job yourself, you might consider using a Mille-Rod push pull rod to help run the wires. Make fewer holes!
