Power levels at 50% and increasing...

Today was day one of the electrical fit-off, which saw all of the outside lights installed and the power-points and light switches installed on the inside. No lights have been installed inside yet - I'm hoping that will be tomorrow's job so that we can see them on our weekend visit. The holes have all been drilled in the ceiling roses ready for the light fittings, so I think that is a promising start.

We had a little hiccup with the placement of some of the power-points and switches in the bathroom. As you might expect, it is a little different working out the placement of these items on a plan to actually seeing them in person. Turns out the powerpoint near the bathroom sink was planned a little too close to the bath - as we don't feel like getting electrocuted any time soon, this has been moved to the side of the bathroom vanity. We also needed to move the light switch for the bathroom onto the doorway architrave as it was placed too close to the shower. These are only tiny changes, so we are happy about that.

Now for some pictures...

More switches and power-points

Power-points either side of the kitchen bench

And another one on the other side of the sink

Lots of stuff going on down this side of the house

Lots of switches and points for all the theatre bits and bobs

Ben also met up with another window furnishing company on site to organise our second quote for the blinds and curtains. Another interesting experience....we thought the first quote was quite a lot of money - this one was more than double! My fellow Guide leader must have worked some great magic on our first quote, so I guess it does help to have friends in high places...and now we know why many people don't change their curtains for 20+ years.
