susandennisThe electrician that Sheri brought was just cute as he could be. When I get the price quote I may ask her how much if I kept him for me as well.
This room (my living room) is dark as a cave. Unless it is between 7am and 1 pm on a bight, sunny, summer day, it is dark in here. My old eyes just struggle. They do not make lamps bright enough. I have the brightest ones available and it's still dark.
So... Mr. cute electrician is going to stick lights in my ceiling. All over my ceiling. Sunken in and on tracks. YEAH!!!! And he's going to give me more outlets. Everywhere. And fix the ones that don't work any more. Big yeah. I even showed him behind the 'entertainment center' where it is quite crowded with cables from TV/DVD/TiVos/radio/harddrives/modem/switch and something else - oh the cable splitter booster. It's not a rat's nest because no self respecting rat would even consider going back there.
He says he'll fix. Nice. And Scott the building manager came up to discuss and tell them the condo rules for this kind of thing and they were both very cool with being able to comply.
We made more cabinet decisions - the cabinet maker, Sheri says, is chomping at the bit to get started. We're ready now. And she's having a bench made to match my orange chair and ottoman.
She's going to look at a table I found and if it's fine, we'll book it, if not, we'll go with our Plan B table.
So we're pretty much done with decisions and ready for execution. I covered, again, the need to contain the upheaval into one short time frame and she indicated that was her plan. Right now it looks like the cabinet owns the longest runway. It will take six weeks. So the soonest it can all happen would be the middle of March. My birthday is on the 28th. I think this will be a fine, fine present!
I'm very looking forward to it all!!
