Electrifying Progress


Tuesday was a big day here. The carpenters were here finishing up their work on the walls of the second floor. The electrician, Kevin, came in the morning and we had discussions on where everything electrical would go. He started working in the afternoon placing wiring and boxes in the walls and ceiling, and the plumbers showed up.

 



Kevin has been concentrating on the first floor - under the second floor.  

We went 'window shopping' last night at Lowe's to look at lighting fixtures, and whom did we run into but Kevin who definitely knows his way around the lighting department.  We have decided on some 6" recessed lighting in the kitchen and living room and a shower; most of the other fixtures need a bit more research.  We also viewed the plumbing fixtures for the bathroom to see what was available.

We discussed with the plumbers the work to be done, and the placement of fixtures (tub, sink and toilet) in the upstairs bathroom.

Bill is working on closing up the tunnel/utility room so the walls can be plastered. The South visor or overhang still needs the final coat of plaster.  

Weather is getting so nice that we are planning on starting some of the outside work.  That work includes contouring the garage dirt 'roof', covering it with the insulating umbrella and finishing with dirt and grass on top before the hot summer.
