Things have frankly been a little uninteresting at the house. There has been minor electrical & plumbing being done, and they finally are working on my new laundry room. They installed solatubes in both the master bedroom and laundry room yesterday, and they are awesome. Lovely ambient sunlight filtering in from the ceiling. It's like God will be looking down saying, "Don't forget to pre-treat that red wine stain!"
This morning was also our first (& hopefully only) almost-catastrophe. They started installing the new siding (Hardie board - cool stuff) and, in moving the electrical meter, blew a transformer and cut power to the entire block. Entergy said the worker moving the meter is lucky not to have been killed. Mr. D was home and knows CPR but that would not have been a great start to the day. Scary! But power is back on and we're back on track.
We have also made decisions and ordered new ceiling fans and track light fixtures for the dressing area and closet. The original ones we looked at were over $800 a piece....er, no. Found a kit similar that was a fraction of that. Good thing because outdoor-rated ceiling fans are not cheap folks. So we're not really saving money at this point, more like redistributing it. (Sigh).
The nit picky things are starting to add up. Still haven't decided on hardware, sconces, stain color for wood floor, stain color for cabinetry....one day at at time, one day at a time.
