Tonight we met with the electrician, and his bid was very good. So good in fact that the number had barely left his mouth and I said "Sold." Brett then immediately said "How much more to add ceiling lights in the hallway?"
So everything needs to be cleared out and ready to go by Thursday, because thats when the rewiring begins. We went to Lowe's tonight armed with a list and the Christmas gift cards from our families, and came out with 400 bucks worth of electrical equipment. New, white, grounded outlets. Five inch recessed ceiling cans. Wide, shallow wall switches with dimmers. Even a pair of simple ceiling fixtures to replace the bare bulb and pull chain lights in the closets.Never one to wait on the fun stuff, today I also picked up a couple Ben Moore sample jars to test when the new drywall is up.
We're SO ready for some change.

Other people might a pile of trash, but I see mountains of possibility.

I do not, I do not envy your task. I've been there, I've done it. I like it for a little while, then hate it, then LOVE it.
good work guys. Just a few more days
I'm loving following the transformation of your new home!
Ok, now. That Jayhawk loss has got you two going. (I am trying to see somthing positive in that). This is going to be a wonderful new space. Can't wait to see the transformation. Do hope you have stocked up on Advil!
