Thanks, I appreciate that. Some LED lights arrived from China
yesterday, and more should be arriving soon. I need the sockets to
finish putting the lights together. I got all the power lines run and
the boxes installed, so once the sockets and bulbs all appear I can
finish them. I also purchased a kit of chemicals that reportedly give
various effects when applied to copper, maybe I will do some
experimenting today since it is pouring rain and that would be a good
mellow exercise.
Working with the copper is quite fun and it looks really nice. I will
need to develop some more skills in that regard. There is a couple on
Wadmalaw Island I visited who are making some really nice copper light
fixtures. Turns out they both lost their jobs a few years back and took
up making things in their garage, now they are supplying a lot of very
high-end customers. Nice to see a hard-working family succeed in a new
business making quality stuff.
In other good news my range top and hood arrived Th night, and I got
them put in yesterday. The rangetop has enough output to launch into
orbit, and it turns out the specs on line for it say it needed a 1/2"
gas line, which I ran and got the tank installed last week. Turns out it
needs a 3/4" line per the specs listed on the as-built sheet, so I guess
I will have to replace the new line. Don't know if the propane tank
needs a different line and regulator. ugh.
And I got a new mini-split installed and running Friday to replace the
ancient heat pump that died just before last week's cold weather, so now
the house is nice and warm on this 70F day.
Stone can go in now with the range top in, so that is exciting too. New
power line and septic system will have us in the new kitchen for Christmas!
Progress!

Rich, I woke up sometime during the night and realized I had not given you a
proper ATTABOY for your recent lighting project.
So here is a much-deserved and belated ATTABOY! for the project and another one
for its presentation to the list and posterity. I plan to read, peruse and
enjoy the presentation again.
Thanks.
Wilton
