Work Snow Day

Today my office was closed because of the weather! When I woke up this morning, and didn't see 12 inches of new snow, I almost didn't call the hot line they had set up to notify us if the office would be closed.

Since it wasn't safe for my office to be open I figured it wasn't safe for me to leave the house so I worked in the basement virtually all day.

Excuse the poor photo and admire two of my newly functioning lights (also excuse the fact that the lights are working though an extension cord and no the main electrical box)
It's almost time to get drywall quotes...what's left to complete?
-Wire 6 more light fixtures
-Wire 3 way lights to switches
-Hook up electrical to main panel
-Eliminate more air leaks with Great Stuff
-Install missed stud that I discovered today
-Run speaker wire
-Finish tacking electrical wires
-Confirm code location for smoke detectors
-Install one missed electrical outlet box (I was just shy of the 12ft code requirement)
-Remove insulation from the wrong side of vapor barrier
-Install splitter and run cable to TV wall
-Buy piggyback breakers (2 20/20 1 15/15)
-Buy more yellow wire nuts
-Install blocking for drywall

Compared to what was accomplished today, this list doesn't look too long.

I've ordered a few things from Amazon for the project, today I was $1.02 short of getting the free shipping on speaker wire so I did a quick search and found this website that provides a list of items for the exact amount remaining to free shipping - fun.
