After the floor was done I started working on wiring. It was amazingly easy. The hardest part for me was to get the back off the tapewire. It was like peeling off sticky labels where they don't give you an edge to grab. The next hardest part was working with the 1/8" brads.
It is hard to see but about a 1/2" in front of the plyers is one of the brads that are required at every junction of the tapewire. I was surprised though that I didn't lose more or have more difficulty putting them in.
Everywhere you see the pink/purple tapewire I can have a light or outlet.
Every time I completed a new junction I used the test light that comes with the kit to make sure the junction I created worked. It was a bit tedious but better to test as you go and make sure the electricity travels to the new tape then get all done and not know where the problem is. Now I can start the wallpaper, beadboard, trim, molding, painting and a whole host of other things...lol
