This weekend I got pretty much all the lines pulled - I almost got scared that I wouldn't have enough speaker wire but it ended up being perfect. Bought a new wall box instead of building a recess out of gyp board. Have to wait for delivery before I can start patching.
Unfortunately, the first hole I cut for my ceiling lights I found a damn gas line running across. There's really no where else to put the light so I'm going to have to get much smaller lights that fit between the gas line and the truss chord
