Lighting all set

OK, so the lighting has figured itself out. It was Craigslist! I was bopping around there and lo and behold someone has EXACTLY the fixtures I was looking for available for $15 a piece! I had been searching and it would have been around $75 for the things brand new. So we arranged a time for pickup and I trucked to Denver (in my old blue pickup to try it out, what fun is life without a bit of risk of getting stranded hours from home?). It all worked out well. The fella (John) asked how many fixtures I wanted and I told him I could take 10, maybe 12. He said he had 15, not all of them perfect and I could have them all for the price of 12. I peeled off the $180 and loaded the lights.

They're great! 10 even have good diffusers on 'em. That's the plastic thingy that spreads out the light. One even has a dandy battery back up thing that turns the light ON if the power goes OFF. :) So now all I have to do is figure out where to mount my "j" boxes to wire the lights into and run a couple spare pipes and I can get my rough inspection and start insulating and drywalling! WHOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is, of course, depending on my call to another fella on Craigslist. He has a nifty boiler for sale. Good sized with 3 zone valves and 30 feet of baseboard along with the expansion tank and a circulation pump. WAY cheap. I gotta call this morning and if I can have it I'll head up as soon as possible and get it. This would save me THOUSANDS, so it would be well worth giving up a day of production to get it. It would also solve me delima on a heating system, at least for this winter.

Don't cha just love it when things fall together?
