What Happened Last Week?

Last week the power company put in a utility pole on my side of the street, then ran the wires for power, cable and phone underground to the house. I heard from the builder that, on the day they put that pole and a higher one on the other side of the street with a new transformer, had there been a severe power emergency anywhere else in Milford, those persons would have been out of luck. It took something like 5 to seven "bucket" trucks at my house, each with 2 workers. They started at 0730 and worked their special jobs until after 3PM. Unfortunately, I wasn't there to take pics of that!

To my mind, the worst part of building a house is the drywall. It's a mess. But when that is done, can the end be far away?

On Friday I picked out the flooring, and today I picked out the bathroom sink and sink bases. I've been spending a lot of time looking at lighting fixtures. There are so many types of lights that it is daunting. Luckily, budget has a way of narrowing the possibilities.
