A Little Electrical Work

 A house built in 1910 most likely needs a LITTLE updating, especially regarding electricity. But that little bit of work has turned into a BIG project. Today the electrician began rewiring our kitchen. Unknown to us, he had to cut out some of the drywall.

Here's the kitchen as he started the morning.

Look at the walls now.

We did find a few interesting things when he opened up the walls. First there is portion of a brick wall. Might have been a fireplace wall. Second, there was a hole that was stuffed with old newspapers. I pulled them out and they were dated June 6, 1996. It was the Council Bluffs paper called The Nonpareil. Here's the front page from that day.

They will be back a couple more days to finish all the electrical work.
