Can you see something wonderful in the picture below?  I can.

If you look closely, you will see that the shop vac is plugged directly into the wall. That’s right. We have power upstairs. Edison was onsite on Friday, 10 Oct 2008, to switch the electrical service from overhead to underground. When they did this the new meter box was energized and power was on!. The Edison planner was sooo happy to close out this project. He made his first site visit in September of 2006. I wonder if having the project open for so long affected his ‘stats’. I took great pleasure in rolling up the extension cords that have served so faithfully. Good riddance!

We have begun to do the furnishings of the new areas. Max and I assembled two bookshelves for the loft and hung a shelf in the powder room. Also, I cleaned the glass doors upstairs. It took almost 2 hours to clean the six glass doors, inside and out. I was doing the work in the late afternoon when the sun was streaming through those windows, so I was aware of every little streak. This cleaning was mostly to get all the grime off. I’ll shine the windows later.
