no big visual change today. the electrician came today to put in all the new wiring. he still has to come back tomorrow to finish up; ron made a lot of additional changes to what was in the original plans. i almost had a heart attack when i saw the large cut-outs in my newly painted pantry ceiling!!! he had to cut out the ceiling to get the wires from the existing switches on one side of the pantry to the other, to the dining room. how sad!!! all that hard work; and the ceiling was the hardest part to paint... oh, well... the electrician must think that i'm really eccentric, with my very strong reaction to the pantry holes...
