No major accomplishments for the week but several smaller ones.
The interior paint continued and will hopefully finish this week. The electricians started their finish work with switches and receptacles and the like; they will wait on the actual light fixtures until paint is finished. The tile guys finished all the tile they could; the tile for the half bath is supposedly on a truck somewhere as is one of the bathroom sinks. Most of the new light fixtures are here, except for the two that fell off the truck which are being replaced. All the plumbing fixtures are here except for the kitchen faucet and sink (which we've yet to order) and a lavatory faucet I hope to win on ebay tonight (which is where many pieces of this house have come from).
The stone work has slowed almost to a crawl. Hopefully, they will return and finish what little they lack this week.
I've spent a fair amount of time cleaning up several old ceiling fixtures we found at an antique show last winter. I would call them "school house lights" although I'm not too sure that's the correct name as they were used in many places other than schools. Anyway, the globes all cleaned up nicely and the fixtures themselves have been cleaned and are being refinished. Since we are having to do all of this due to a fire, I thought it appropriate to rewire them as well so I finally found enough new original style light sockets to put them back together.
So, pictures this week include one of a bathroom with tile and the walls and beadboard painted, another of an unrestored school house fixture, and a picture of the great room with a peek at the kitchen colors.
Hopefully, we can have the plumbing fixtures set this week and the interior paint finished and the stone work finished. Then we can move on to the floor as well as a new upper driveway, so we can redo the lower driveway, which has to be done before the power company will run their new lines. And the exterior still needs to be painted. More details to be taken care of, everywhere you look.

Kitchen Red looks good. Also, the picture of the school house light makes it look like you have carpeted walls.
