Final Electrical Inspection + attic insulation

Had called for an electrical inspection and expected "Art", our neighborhood inspector to show up, since he's been here from the very beginning and know what I'm up to, but this time he was just to busy. Instead "Walt" showed up and just as Art before, he approved of my work and signed off the final electrical inspection. Means that I can now start to focus on getting everything properly (insulation and drywall) covered up inside.

Also started cleaning up the attic (to be a third floor later on) in order to properly insulate over our bedrooms, craftroom, bathrooms, and office. It was originally done sometime in the early 60ies, and the insulation lists it as being 2 and 3/4 inch, but at the very best, it has been one inch thick. Add to that the very crappy workmanship when it was put in, it probably has done done much good. This time around, I'll add a solid layer of blow-in insulation. Hope to get all that taken care of just after Christmas.
