I've been continuing work on the small room downstairs; today I finished all the wiring. One recurring theme I've discovered when pulling down the paneling and ceiling tiles is mice...this house must have been infested. They're definitely gone now, but the ceiling tiles look like at some point every mouse in the state was relieving himself on them, and I found the remains of at least 8 very dead mice trapped in the walls. Some were skeletal, some were not. All were gross. I'm making slow progress on the room; about two-thirds of the drywall is up.
