Getting there…

We are almost there with getting electrons where they need to go!
The electrician breathed a big sigh of relief when I told him he could bypass 2 switches – one that controls a bunch of outlets (just about all of them) in the front room and one by the back door that turns on the dining room light. Neither of which we really use and the front room switched outlets are really annoying. We now have switches that really don’t do anything (kinda like pirates). Maybe we can hook up something and make them growl or blink lights in the neighbor’s house. Hmmmm.
The dining room light isn’t working today. It seems like every day some light or another doesn’t work. The electrician is blaming bad dimmer switches. I’m blaming it on him switching the breakers off by shorting the wires instead of running down the stairs to the breaker box. Maybe the switches fried. Anyway, he’s coming back tomorrow to replace the dimmer switches.
Next week they’re supposed to come and install the vent hood & back splash. We’re really looking forward to that!!
Almost done.
Just think of the halloween fun you could have!!! I’m glad your father wasn’t in that mess of wires. Egads!!!!!

i’m curious-if your electrician had hair at the start, does he have any now?
I expected to never see the electrician again, but he actually returned yesterday to wire in the vent hood. He did sort of shudder a bit every time he looked at the center wall.
