Pete almost finished leveling out the basement floor today, and was cranking away on the drywall mudding around the new main entrance when I came by the house this evening.
To my surprise, the recessed ceiling lights were in operation for the first time! You could see them through the front patio door (see top photo). Sparky had put in one light switch for those fixtures just before he left apparently, and Pete was taking advantage of it. Odd that I didn't notice it earlier.And in case you hadn't heard, it was pouring rain pretty much all day. All that cardboard that we cleverly laid out to kill the grass and weeds on the front lawn was pretty well soaked,
and fortunately Danny and I put down the biggest concrete chunks on top of it all to keep any of it from blowing away in all the strormy conditions.Kian, home from summer camp after three weeks in the deep woods, saw the house for the first time in about a month, and for a guy who's pretty typically non-plussed about everything, he let on just a little bit of surprise at the big old Nanawall and some satisfaction with the Man-Cave. I think he's really looking forward mostly to the idea of the media room and the speakers around the house. It's a guy thing, I'm sure.
That's it for tonight. Pretty quiet except for Pete's drywall cranking; hope to see more tomorrow!
