Quite a bit of stuff has happened on the outside of the house, however it doesn't really make for exciting pictures. We have had Comcast, Qwest and our inside connections guy, Pete Last here laying the lines for the house. We have all new lines leading into the house and boy do we love Pete Last. Pete cleaned up and neatened up the rats nest of cable and phone wires in the old garage attic, and installed miles of new cables, phone lines and jacks. Our garage attic is now as neat and tidy as a professional phone switching office. Pete is worth every cent, ask our friends Steve and Allan - they used him to install the wiring for their flatscreen television and sound system at their house and they were very happy with his service too.

Anyway, inside the house we have had some good things happen. First, we took down those darn pendelum lights that we giving us all those problems. Although we both loved the look of them - they were not worth the trouble, so we returned them and in their place are these new lights, which we actually like better. They are brushed nickel and they really work here as well -- they echo the outside garage and porch lights in style.

Additionally, Ideal Building worked to get the NEW new microwave installed into the cabinet and after all of it was done, it was realized that the outlet behind the microwave has no power!!! Gary and I tried to figure out what was what by flipping switches but to no avail. Apparently the outlet isn't hooked up to the circuit breaker box yet. So, we got an extension cord and were able to put the microwave in it's spot, and then simply plugged it in (for now) using a different outlet. However, you see what the cabinet wall looks like with everything in its place -- including the new 15 inch flat screen TV running off of one of Pete's new outlets!

Lastly, Rob from Ideal Building worked to get the new 5 burner gas stove top installed along with the pop up vent. The gas is not hooked up yet, but the stove top is in its place and it looks good too. The kitchen is coming together.

We are expeting that the Stone Guys will be out tomorrow and they will drill all the holes for the faucet and hot water dispenser in the kitchen and the faucets and drain holes for the Master Bathroom. I can't wait to see what it looks like once this is done.
