58

Paul and Hibi did a count of how many recessed bucket lights there are in our house. That's how many: 58. We will never want for lighting around here, as the electrician who lived here before went a little crazy! However, we may want for cash to pay the electric bill....

So begins the greening of our house. We're headed out to buy compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs).

We just got back from the Rebuilding Center (cool place!) and looked at doors for a project we want to do (eventually). We want to build a fence in our back yard. There's only a chain link fence there now, and over one street is a very busy street. Between our back yard and the busy street is only a parking lot. So we'd like to have something to block the sight and sounds of the busy street. Anyway, I was balking at just a conventional fence. Then I thought of the Rebuilding Center, and making it out of old doors! Yes, that's the perfect solution, we all said! We'll be doing that sometime in the new year.
