Renovation / demolition pics

Yeah that's my mom painting the ceiling. My sister is the one painting inside that cabinet.
Tomorrow I think the counter is going in, so that will make a big difference. This weekend I replaced all the plugs and switches to white "decora" style ones. MUCH better. There's a 3 way circuit I had issues with so tomorrow I'll bring some crocodile clips and trial/error fix it. :p The switch styles are not always the same so it's not always obvious which wire is the traveler wire.
Also got zapped today lol. There was this circuit I was fixing up, and I was double checking to see if this one wire I cut could come out completly or if I had to feed it, but it actually fed another circuit that got removed so it was live. I was too lazy to run around for 15 minutes trying to find my multimeter (tools get scattered EVERYWHERE and are never in same place, it's annoying) so I just tapped it with my finger. Yep, it was live.
