Kitchen Remodel - Finished Switches, Outlets, and repositioning 110 Volt power lines

Yesterday I finished rewiring the 110 volt electrical outlets and switches in the kitchen and April stripped off the old stain from the cabinet doors.  The stain we were using before kept developing flecks.  Not bubbles, not blotches, but flecks.  Grain-sized concentrated bits of stain.

Here are some of the outlets in their new positions.  I figured if I'm going to have to sheetrock the walls and ceiling where the soffets used to be that it didn't matter what kind of holes I had to make for the outlets


My trick to finding which breaker to turn off before working on an outlet was to plug in my radio then trip the breakers one by one until I found the one that actually turned off the radio.

Here is some of the wiring that I drilled new holes to rout the wiring through


Here are the cabinet doors that April has sanded, painted, and re-sanded.

Funny story, This is the third time that April has re-sanded these doors.  She has been doing the sanding by hand.  The first time she re-sanded the doors I offered her the electric sander but she declined.  Yesterday, after she determined the stain wasn't working and needed to be sanded off again I offered her the use of the electric sander.  April looked at me and asked, "YOU HAVE AN ELECTRIC SANDER?!"
