It is easy for my mind to get lost in these big projects. There are a thousand little things to get done, and a few big things... and my thoughts can easily stray as I think of the other things I need to be doing. I do not think that I am dreaming about construction yet, but I am sure that will come soon.
In the attic bath, I have nearly completed the electrical work. I had to additional circuits, because all the current load would be too high for people living full time upstairs. Now there should be plenty of juice to handle the A/C, computers, lights, hair dryers, etc.
The more difficult part is adding additional lighting. I had to learn how to install recessed lighting, since the ceiling is so low and lighting woefully inadequate. The bathroom lighting is set up, but I need to work a little more on the rest of the attic. The bathroom fan is installed, and the necessary holes have been cut in preparation for new waste lines for the bath.
Speaking of, we do not yet have the fixtures - bathtub, shower head, vanity, toilet, faucet....but we should be able to fill that in during the next week between visits to second-hand warehouses and the big box stores.
It has not been all work; last night Rachel and I went downtown to watch a Chinese dance performance. I received some free tickets from my school's Chinese teacher (via a student who did not want them!). While I am not the biggest dance aficionado, the price was right and we are more cultured as a result.
And today we went to Wrigley to watch the Tigers beat up on the Cubs. I think there were as many Tigers fans there as Cubs fans - and certainly there were more Tigers fans in the upper deck. It was Andrew's first baseball game, and overall it was a successful trip. He was an angel all the way through the 7th inning stretch...and he was tolerable after that. Pictures to come.

I was wondering if you were at the game the Tigers won or now. I assume you rooted for the Tigers?
We went to a game with my school and sat in upper deck. Jenny said next time we need to go with a different group that is more fun.
