Progress at last!

After having to reschedule the electrician twice because things weren't ready to be electrified, Rob and his Dad got enough done that the spark man can come tomorrow and do his thing. Props to them both, because a huge amount of progress was made in one day.

Most importantly, wires have been pulled for pot lighting. This is a big deal because at one point, a few days ago, Rob sat me down and broke the news to me that the pot lights he had promised me might not be possible after all. We might, he said, have to settle for track lighting. Pot lights would be very difficult given the space they had to work with in the ceiling. To which I said: "So. Do we want this to be easy, or do we want it to look good?"



The biggest change in terms of layout is that what used to be a door is a door no more and ready to be reborn as a regular old wall.



The giant pile of debris in our driveway is gone, too, much to the neighbors relief I am sure.







However the garage is so full of tools, supplies and old appliances that there is no longer any room for the jogging stroller, which will have to be moved to the basement. Good excuse to not run, score! Ha!




The only small step backward is that the soon-to-become a light switch thing that I documented yesterday is no more. I tried asking why, but never got a real answer. I can only guess that it never should have been put there in the first place. Hee!

I am now no longer in a rush to reno my kitchen. The thought horrifies me.
