The electrician have been here for the last 3 days, and we expect them to be here for another 3. They've got much of the new wiring done.

This was a difficult task, primarily because we had to decide the location for everything. We have been putting lights around the building temporarily on extension cords to ensure that they provided the lighting that we wanted.

In the end, I think we have done a very nice job to light the project. We've moved away from track lighting and are using 3" cans with halogen bulbs. These have a brushed nickel trim and a nice modern look to them. They are also small and adjustable.

The lighting in the bathroom and closets are on motion sensors, which will turn them on when someone enters the room and then off after a preset amount of time with no motion. This will hopefully stop leaving them on .

Every circuit of lighting is on dimmers and we are using Inteon automation controllers (http://www.smarthome.com/_/INSTEON/_/23b/land.aspx) to be able to set scenes and control everything from any location. There are also 4 "wired" keypads in the rooms that allow control of anything.

We aren't doing the soffit "down lights" at this time, but have put in circuit for security floodlights at the major corners.

I am really looking forward to seeing all of this at night.
