Justin and I bought a house together. It needs some work. The house hasn't been renovated (ever) and it was built in 1920. We bargained the seller down to a price we could live with but it still seems like a lot looking at the work we have ahead of us. We'll need new: plumbing, electrical, HVAC & ductwork, kitchen cabinets/counters/fixtures/appliances, bathroom cabinets/counters/fixures, flooring and some windows. Whew. We hired an architect to help us change the floor plan a little and she's nearly done with the final drawings. We've gone through the preliminaries, prior to closing on the house, so we could hit the ground running when we closed.

Our first project has been to disconnect the sketchy wiring at the panel and install some temporary circuits to use during our demolition. Here are some photos of our makeshift lighting and new (temporary) electrical service.
