25th of September

The siding continues. The window details are well on their way.. the house is starting to look quite tarty.

The electricians were here installing plugs and lights. I asked them to add lights to our bedroom closets and the hall closets, because its almost impossible to find stuff in there!

After loving the lights, I held them up to the walls and decided the new lights for the hallways and the dining table are WAY TOO SMALL! So I'll need to return them. Because they're special order (almost everything is), I'll have to pay a restocking fee - a certain percentage of the cost. Argh. But we can't use them.. they look like pimples on pumpkins.

We took down the old flood lights and bought new ones. I also found a paintable wooden door-bell chime (the electricians said there would only be plastic ones!).

The Inspectors from the City of San Carlos came today. All is well, which is good. They like our contractor, and apparently our carpenter lives next door to the inspector, and has known him for 20 years.

It helps getting a local builder.
