Got a good start on the electrical part tonight. Ran a wire off the
nearest wall outlet to the closet and hooked that up to a light fixture
in there. Then ran a wire off of that to a new wall outlet for my
computer. Later on I need to go off of that to the attic,so I can put a
couple of lights up there. 2:30am now and I'm tired! LoL

Remodeling may be very helpful for you.  (I assume you are doing it
because of an alz patient.)  I did some when mom was here with us for
two years.  I didnt bother with sheet rock because I knew it was
temporary and I would eventually tear it down.  I just used 2x4's and
plywood.  I built a wall  with a door to keep mom out of the kitchen
and I installed two other doors.  They can do some wierd and dangerous
things in a kitchen if they are not being watched.  One of the doors
was near the end of a hall and it kept her out of two bedrooms, a
bathroom, and a small spare room (all done with a single door.)  The
other I installed closer to the end of her stay and it kept her out of
a living area.  Eventually she was left with a large living area, her
bedroom, her full bathroom, and a hall.  Of course we had her come into
the kitchen/dining area at meal time.  My advice is, if you find that
more remodeling is necessary, dont get too fancy, just be practical.
My mom is now in a nursing home.
