Yep, today's her birthday. I'm not telling how old.
Pete and Tina got two sections done today, they're back on Monday. Phil brought Joanne up, helped put up one piece of drywall, helped bring in the shower base, and then had to leave to go to a job interview. He got the job, but it's a night gig so he says he can still come out and help us. We need the muscle.
For some reason Dad really wanted to have the kitchen lights up in time for the tour today. To get the lights up they had to be rewired, which involved cutting off the old leads and soldering on new wires. We removed the metal rods and hung the lights from the new wires. They look amazing, and we'll leave them up for tomorrow, then take them back down to protect the glass.
The tour took up a good portion of the afternoon, so we didn't really get much work done. Everybody seemed quite impressed with the house and the land.
I love your house! Great web site and progress photos. In the photos from this posting I noticed what appeared to be incandescent bulbs in the kitchen. I was surprised to see this since you are off the grid. I hope you are planning on using CFL's for your permanent installation (same light at 1/4 the power).
Keep up the good work
