Progress?

Well, this past week has been interesting! The contractors finished framing up the walls in the downstairs master suite - pantry, double closets, hall, walk-in shower, etc. - and we are hoping to get the plumber out next week to begin installing the lines for the shower, toilet, and clawfoot tub. However, we have been dealing with the joys of the home's very questionable electrical wiring (thank you, previous home owners: you were too cheap to have a pro wire your house, so instead you chose to do-it-yourself. Word to the wise: if you don't know anything about electrical wiring, DON'T DO IT!!!). We have basically had to rewire the whole house. The electrician has been out here every day, and he's still not finished! It's very frustrating...I just got handed a $3500 electrical bill today, and I have half a mind to march over to the previous owners (yes, I do in fact know where they are living now) and cram it down their throats!!! What were they thinking??! The electrician even told us that you can't even find replacement parts for the ones that the previous owners used, because they have been outlawed due to their extreme electrocution/fire hazard! Grrrrrrrrreat...

Sorry, I needed to vent...
