Final framing and electrical

Finished up the major framing and all the electrical work. I added some recessed lights to the framing around the ductwork as it seemed like a nice touch and will add light to the bed or a desk that will be in the space. I also finished the framing for the closet. Took a little bit of time just to figure out the proper rough opening for the closet door sizing that was appropriate. Ended up going with one opening for two 30" wide closet doors.

Put the lights on a dimmer too, so they aren't too bright.

Opening for closet. Looking closely, can see the ceiling is unlevel.

New room framing

Got the next exterior wall framed up and added all the insulation to the walls as it was taking up a lot of space in the room. As always, I'm using Roxul R15 insulation in the exterior and Safe n' Sound in the interior walls.
I also finally decided on how I'm going to use the space. I was going to frame in a standard 48 inch opening closet where the walk-in closet used to be, but instead I'm going to move the closet to the right of the door as it makes better sense for the room. So, with the closet moved to the other side of the room, a bed will go where the closet used to. I'm also thinking of making that bed a murphy bed. Figure that will be pretty cool and a good use of space. As I'm typing this though... I don't think I've got enough ceiling height to make that work. Crap...

Next exterior wall framed in.

Had to add in extra framing so wall tied into ceiling.

Insulation added.

And... I ran out of insulation.

I thought it would work nicely to add in some recessed lights above the bed space, so wanted to add in a second light switch. Only problem is that I didn't have enough space to add a two-gang box, so I had to extend the wall out. Also, in order to box out the ductwork, instead of boxing around just the duct which I think looks crappy, I extended the framing all the way across the space so it kept the look uniform.

Little bit of a before photo.

Additional 2x4 wall added to add space for light switches.

Making sure everything is level before nailing in.

All finished with added blocks so drywall has plenty of anchors.
