All the...small things

I am soooo close to drywalling everything...sortof.  There are so many little things that are just adding up and seem to be taking forever. "Give me some examples" you say.  Well, here you go.

I needed to put at least on directly wired smoke alarm in the basement on a separate circuit.  The easy choice would be to just wire a new circuit to the basement alarm, I did not choose that option.  I thought it would be nice to connect the smoke alarm on the top floor with the one in the basement so if one goes off the other will too, alerting all floors in the house.  Well that required new cable to the upstairs smoke alarm since the builder did not plan for connecting multiple smoke alarms.

A whole in the wall to run the cable to the attic: (yes you read that right, I needed to go back into the attic yesterday:(

I also needed to anchor the plumbing to prepare it for drywall:

In addition to those little things I also finished running the electrical today and framing in the office door.
