Electrical is DONE! (mostly)

Well, at least we have a lot of fixtures in. Almost all the faceplates are on the switches and outlets. Light fixtures are done. Appliances are in the kitchen except for the cooktop. Here is a tour of our lighting fixtures:

Here is a picture of the fireplace in the Great Room with the stonework completed. This is the same stone that will adorn the front of the house.

Can I sublet one of the ovens? There are enough for me to live in one and you can still use the convection oven. I require so little space... Great stuff Dad! I'll return Mom to you soon so you can show her in person the new developments!

Hi Guys... The house is really moving fast now! You'll be in before you know it.

Interesting... The picture of the "library" looks like it is one of those trick rooms where it really does get smaller as you walk into it. Do you see that? Cool, huh?

Anyway... it looks great, and I hate you for the views you will have. It will be cool to watch storms roll in!

Beeeuuuteaful. That kitchen is gorgeous. Where is Donna? In Oakland? Did Alyssa get sicker? Oh - I bet she had to drive Alyssa home. How are you Alyssa??? Better yet? I'm up here too - just drove Erin home - she was bored down south and wanted to come home early.

Donna is flying home today (Sunday). My original suggestion was for her to drive Alyssa home because she was still quite ill with the flu. And then fly home.

Having decided that, Donna began planning a "Mission: Organization" intervention at Alyssa's and so planned on staying several days.

In the end, Alyssa was feeling much better and probably could have driven herself home, but we weren't sure and Donna still wanted to go up and help Alyssa "put her house in order."
