Today, a lot of work got done, though much of it is not visible. In fact John the electrician complained that much of his work goes un-noticed and unappreciated, so here is some of what he did today:Most all the electrical is finished. What remains is connecting the wires to the service panels, which is scheduled for Monday. Hopefully the doorbell and telephone will one again work at this time.


The appliances came yesterday, and are awaiting the plumber (Monday) to install the gas line to the stove, and water lines to the dish washer and refrigerator (above). (The frig currently has a plastic wrap on it, and it will be jet black when unwrapped.) The frig is in it's place but will eventually be pushed back, lining up with the cabinet on the left. The ceilings in the living room and kitchen were painted today, as well as the new living room walls. The dark red kitchen paint will be applied tomorrow, which should make the whole room pop! The wood floor adjacent to the kitchen will also be vanished tomorrow.

Granite is scheduled to be installed on Monday, and the exhaust fan connected. Minor problem appeared yesterday: Eric was cutting a hole in the wall for the exhaust fan, when he realized the external light which John had just installed, is right in the path of the fan.

We did manage to sell our old frig on Criag's list, and the purchaser was supposed to come this afternoon to pick it up. Unfortunately, there was no one here to help, so he rescheduled for Saturday. We told him to call ahead, to be sure we're there. (Baby-sitting this week-end).
