BR1-2 vapour barrier, bath switches

Before anyone arrived, I arranged the switches in the old bathroom light switch location.  (Why did the previous owners put a bathroom light switch in the middle of the room, ten feet away from the door?)

So the plan is, since the bathroom light fixture wire ends at that electrical box, I’ll add a motion sensor for the toilet sconce light, an humidistat for the bathroom fan, and a timer for said fan.  In this way, I don’t have to dig the light fixture wiring out of the ceiling to rewire it – I can junction another 14-2 wire from the switch (where it should be) to inside this box. 

(Did he just say an humidistat?  Yes, just to bug people.) 

I filled in the remaining cavities with Roxul insulation, completed the furring strips, and relocated the outlet.

When everyone arrived, we put in some backing around the gap next to the window in BR2, sealed it (and the window frame exterior) with flashing tape, and added large-gap spray foam insulation on the inside.  The trim board will go on over this. 

 

We completed the Roxul insulation and vapour barrier in the first two bedrooms today.
