Electrical question about LED fixtures

22. It's really neat looking in my opinion

I hate doing the addition but it had to be done. With my husband's mother and my mother both passing away in less than two years we inherited the extensive genealogical collections from both sides of the family - research and original photos and documents.

I was already overflowing my storage area for my needlework stuff, our library was almost full, and we had no where to put the genealogy. The original living/dining room was too small and too dark and we never used what had been designed as the "family" room.

So the family room will become the dining room - one the other end of a great room from the big farm kitchen. The old living room will be a studio/archive with workspace on one end and lots of shelves on the other. And the new part is a huge living room with windows on seven of the eight walls (we cut three corners off to put lots of windows in). It will have two sitting areas - a "den" with the TV, recliners, and comfy furniture, and a separate area with the older family furniture for more "formal" seating (my husband is calling it the "sitting room" while I think of it as a parlor).

Our push to get this done is that we are paying for two storage units for the stuff that didn't fit in the house and the stuff we had to take out for the remodel. But I am NEVER building again. We finished the house in 2008, just in time for the economy to crash, and we started this addition in February, right when Covid-19 took off and crashed the economy. My timing sucks, or as the contractor put it, I am a bellwether.

I'm not sure I could live with an unreliable stove! The one in my old house was off as far as temperature settings, just consistent about being 25 F hotter than the control read. That was easy to allow for.

Think of it this way - if you put in the new stove, you won't have to clean the old one again!
