The plumbing is almost done, and the wiring has begun! The electrician started on Monday and put in most of the can lights and switch boxes on the first day. All of the scary old cords and fixtures are gone, except the old chandelier, which now hangs in the garage. Speaking of the garage, here is a garage door photo that my mother requested... The door is a sandy color that matches the window trim-- a warmer color than this photo indicates.

On a different note, the lawn is still thriving after the rainy holidays and the summery weather of the past week. The cherimoya fruits (above) are getting bigger and bigger, so now I have to figure out when they are going to be truly ripe. Out of the two packets of flower seeds that I planted in November, only one sunflower grew-- and it was the one directly under Jesus in the Birdhouse. Hmmmm...

Before the electrician leaves, make sure he installs the motor and spotlights for the disco ball in the living room!
ReplyDeleteMan you two have been uber busy! I felt good having painted the master bath and hung new drapes in four rooms. Plus a bit of snow shoveling and taking the Tru on his daily hike. Maybe thats why I have put on 10lbs?
ReplyDeleteThe place is looking wonderful! Your hard work is so paying off. I love the one Jesus sunflower. I am sure that one will reseed and you'll have a hundred full next time. I can't wait to visit and see this amazing transformation. Keep up the great work. And will have a job for you here this summer. Miss you guys. Bobby
