Electricity and (a little) painting

We have a power meter.

This is the only time is will read 00000, because today Kyle hooked up the furnace and a couple of plugs, so now our furnace isn't being run off of an extension cord from my parents house.

Because we're so far away from the street we have this (box in the ground) transformer.

Kyle wired two plugs in the storage room so that we could plug in a vacuum, a light and a radio.  The two lights show that it's wired correctly.  Phew.

Vacuuming the dirt in the storage room.

First coat of paint in the storage room.

Hopefully two coats will do it.  The cement is pretty bumpy.

In other news, the drywall is done, and we've met with the finish carpenter.  He'll have a bid for us by tuesday, and after he gets started he'll be done in three days.  Then we can paint everything, and lay tile.   After several days of snow, it cleared up today, and I stood in the house in front of the windows and enjoyed the warmth.  I could almost picture being moved in, it's getting closer.
