We have water!

The faucet passed the spray test with flying colors.

All seven ceiling lights are in.  Those dark rings are the old (original?) paint that was hiding under the old dome lights, and once Dennis paints the lights should just blend in.

This is our new light over the dining table

with lots of little LED "thingies" inside:

Look how the beads under the glass diffuse the light:

Bill installed the electric outlet on the side of the island while Tom trekked to Home Depot.  He went to get a new can light so maybe we could have light over the kitchen sink.   (He had bought an 'extra' one yesterday, to match those now in the ceiling, but it wouldn't work in that hole.) But when he came back the first time he'd gotten the wrong size; must have misheard Bill. 

So of course that meant a schlep back to Home Depot (where apparently everyone in the metropolitan area was returning stuff today) but the real bummer is that they don't even make the size we need...?!

Still - it was a good day and we made lots of PROGRESS!

Diamond is sending someone out first thing tomorrow morning to make the cuts in the cabinetry for the stove. When Spencer's calls tomorrow with their timing window I hope it's a person and not a recording (!) so we can make sure they don't arrive before the hole is widened enough for them.

I made a run to Saver's to drop off several bags of clothes that came out of the closet in Alex's room.  Now there's room in there for me to store some of my quilting tubs!  

It's not likely to ever be that organized, but hey... a girl can dream!

Tom is on a China kick, and wants to read The Good Earth.  Yesterday I dropped off a couple of DVDs at the library (that were due the day before - and not renewable) and of course his book didn't come in until today. So I also ran that errand.

We're having dinner with Alex and Stephanie tonight after all.  (He wasn't sure he made enough, but now that he's checked the crock pot we got confirmation on our reservation.)
