Some neighborhood shots

Here are a few of our neighbors homes that we love. This is where we'd like to be in a few years, but it may take more like ten.... The house with the ladder out front is our neighbor to the north. She's getting ready for exterior paint, which should add a lot to the ambiance of the middle of the block.








As for progress on our place, I spent the past two weekends trying to diagnose a pesky electrical problem with the new bathroom sconces. They would work while hanging by the wires, but once screwed into the wall, the upstairs circuit breaker would blow. Long story short (No pun intended!), there was a short in one of our new lighting fixtures. Hopefully, the problem will be rectified when the new fixture arrives. Also, we decided to give up on stripping the old picture molding. We went this weekend to order new molding, which will have to be custom cut, but it should save many hours in trying to work with shorter lengths of old, damaged molding. We had Brent in to hang two doors, but as for us, we didn't do a lick of work! Still waiting to post our beautiful bathroom photos, as soon as it is done.
