I happened to catch the electricians trying to install the Christmas
light plugs in the wrong spot. The back plugs are in the eaves, the front
plugs are at ground level. He was getting ready to install the front
plugs in the eaves. They returned later and installed the plugs anyway.
They are going to install additional plugs where I wanted them (done)

There were also two big milestones this week, my first home repair and
first home improvement on the new house. The gameroom is the only room
that didn't have a ceiling fan capable box, so I bought one and installed it.
The nails holding the metal strap on the 2x4 over the gas line for the range were
all kinds of messed up, so I pulled them out and put in new ones :-)
