Helping out my brother

My brother and his girlfriend decided it was time to refinish their main floor bathroom.  As these things usually go opening a wall reveals a larger issue.  In their case it seems as though water had entered the inside of the wall and caused the floor to heave.  To rectify this we completely removed the drywall and sub-floor, while we were at it we went all the way to the front of the entrance way.

Tina (Brothers girlfriend) mentioned that she would like to tear down the wall between the entrance way and the kitchen and make a half wall.  Best to take a project like that on while you have everything all ripped apart.  What we didn't know was that all the electrical for the kitchen goes through that wall and worst of all went though the top of the wall into the roof.  A few hours of rewiring later and 10 holes in the drywall around the kitchen and hallway and we had every line rerouted and a few 3 way switches added to make life a little easier.  We managed to complete all of that without adding any junction boxes.

All in all a busy couple of weekends but its now tiled and drywall finished.
