A hole in the wall

No longer a hole in the wall - its an entertainment center! This was Rob's first project today, next was the built-in computer center in the spare room. And see the kitchen cabinets up on the wall? Its all coming together. I know - you wish your husband would work this hard. Rob is really amazing when he is in gear.

The electrician was in for a couple of days, putting up lights and fans, attaching switches and breakers. Most of which I was buying as he was installing. Why did I wait? It seemed like it would be so easy, because every time I went to Home Depot I saw stuff I liked, so I thought I'll just get it when its time. hmm. I over-guessed myself on three of the ceiling fans, and should have gotten bigger ones. I got a dark metal vanity light with dark glass, then Rob pulled out a ceiling light we bought months ago that's light metal with white glass. For me, its harder to start decorating from scratch. I need something to go off, to modify instead of create. I guess eventually I can modify what I'm creating now.

We're waiting to hear from the environmental health inspector about our septic. When Rob asked for a line reduction, the guy changed it from 4 100' lines to 5 of 80'. ??? We're hoping he'll settle for 4 lines of 80', which still seems excessive to us.

The weather has turned cool and cloudy, but so far we have not had the 3 days of rain that was predicted.
