On Friday, we did not make it out to the house until after the sun went down. Fortunately, the lighting fixtures were installed which really go a long ways towards making it look like a finished house. For whatever reason, the flash on the camera seemed to make rooms look a lot yellower in the picture than in person.
View of the great room and kitchen. You can see the track lighting on the great room wall (where we'll hang paintings), recessed lights in the ceiling, and pendant lights in the background in the kitchen (there are more lights in the kitchen than you can see in this picture). In the background, Preethi is fiddling with the remote control for the great room fan.
This is the fan Preethi was controlling. It's rather large and moves a good bit of air even when not spinning very quickly.
A different view of the great room which let's you see all three recessed lights on the south side of the great room. There's a total of six recessed lights in the great room. Interestingly, we found that the track lighting did a much better job of lighting up the room (brighter and more even light) than the recessed lights, probably because they aim up towards the reflective white ceiling while the recessed lights aim down.
The track lights.
The kitchen all lit up (except for some recessed lights). We'll have to lower the pendants over the island a little bit.
Lights were in the closets too (here, the pantry)
Light over the sink in the main level bath.
Stairwell lights. Effectively nightlights so you can see the steps in the dark.
The hanging light in the stairwell. Preethi was there when they hung up this light. She said it only took 2 minutes.
Light/fan in one of upstairs bedrooms.
Lights over the tub in the master bath.
The shower in the master bath.
Lights on my side of the master bath.
Lights in a different bedroom on the top floor.
View of the stair light from that same bedroom. Note that smoke detectors are also in.
For perspective on how many lights were put in Friday, here's the boxes for the lights.
Last of the outlets were put in in the basement.
Insulation in the basement. Still a little more to add in a few places like the preceding pic.
The whole house fan is now operational (we tested it for fun).
Laundry room. The last of the hookups were cleaned up.
