Cover-up
There are no longer gaping holes in the laundry room's walls and floor. Fitting the subfloor into the hole that I rather inexpertly cut was like doing a rather large jigsaw puzzle. I've temporarily laid a layer of 1/2" plywood over top of the first layer, to prevent us from losing screws or anything else through the few small holes that remain. I'll add a permanent layer of 5/8" plywood sometime in the next several days. Combined with the underlayment and laminate flooring, this should mean that there will be very little difference in height between the original hardwood and the new laundry room flooring.
Yesterday Trent & I ran new wire for the dryer and have set the box up for connection. We won't connect it, or the new plug for the washing machine, until the drywalling is finished. We fished through new wire for the light, and installed a new box & switch.
This morning I closed up the hole between the mud room and the laundry room, then spent the rest of the day cleaning up and organizing stuff. Now I should be able to find things a little more easily.
Tomorrow's project will be to clean up the portion of the basement that's underneath the laundry room, as it suffered from intermittent showers of plaster, rotten flooring/subflooring, and the occasional lost item (including an entire box of 1-1/2" wood screws). Once that's done, I'll likely leave the plumbing for the time being, as I'm not entirely certain as to where all of it will end up. Plus, I don't want to trip over it when I'm doing the drywalling.
