Part 10/11:
By the end of the weekend, substantial progress was made. The electrical wiring was nearly complete, the insulation was improved, and the outdoor lighting plan was well underway. The outdoor area was significantly more functional, with better lighting, safer power provisions, and improved warmth.
This meticulous DIY effort exemplifies how thoughtful planning, patience, and resourcefulness can lead to a successful outdoor upgrade. The builder expressed satisfaction with the progress and indicated intent to return to finish remaining tasks, such as wiring a porch light and sealing channels with molding.
