Last night I fixed my short circuit problem. It was a lot of work, but now I have two hallway lights that can be operated by two three-way switches and one four-way switch. I also finished the wiring for the bathroom and tested it. I pulled some wiring down from an old fixture that is going away and almost finished hooking it up to a recessed light in the library entryway. I also moved the old primary light switch for the downstairs a few feet over so the new library doors won’t hit it. I don’t have very much electrical work left, now. I still need to wire two ceiling fans, one for the library and one for the guest room, but that’s it. If I can’t complete the work during the evenings this week, I’ll certainly be done on Saturday.
Next step: drywalling.
