Another quick update! Solar panels!

The first out of what will be 13 photo-voltaic panels was set on the roof today. We expect these panels to generate enough electricity for all our needs PLUS give us a small monthly check back from the power company for the excess electricity we produce. That is, until we invest in an electric car, but even then we expect to be able to generate all the electricity we need. We'll see...

The tilers are just finishing up in the bathrooms. We found an old clawfoot tub that we had reconditioned and will put in the casita bathroom. They've moved it upstairs (it weighs several hundreds of pounds!) and will set it tomorrow.

The plumbers, HVAC and electricians are expecting their work to be inspected by the City tomorrow. Fingers crossed that everyone gets a gold star. :) Also, the outdoor kitchen should be complete by the end of tomorrow (Friday). Who knows...maybe I'll just have to give the grill a whirl this weekend!
