New House - Week 3.5 - we have ceiling fans!

Okay, issues with blogger, so here's the rest of the pictures.
Jack has his construction hat on and cell phone in hand...
...ready to tackle our flooded basement!

 Yeah...apparently a window leaks, plus poor grading by that window well.  Luckily I hadn't move much furniture around down there yet, so nothing was really damaged. 
We do need to open up the walls to check for mold though.  I tore out the carpet padding (totally soaked), and there is evidence of previous flooding on the carpeting and wallpaper. 
 On the plus side, we had 2 electricians here today for over 5 hours.  We now have ceiling fans/lights in all 3 upstairs (non-master) bedrooms!  Yay!!!  I think this is my favorite completed project/update so far.  The ceiling fans really help, especially until we get new windows.  We also had them install a 2nd outdoor outlet, and do some electrical work in the garage.  Lots of things checked off the list today.  :)

Love the windows and yard! Ceiling fans look great, too! Flooding...a terrible new-home welcome. :( Hope it won't take too long to deal with. As for breakfast on the deck...I'd love that too! We have a nice deck, but the temperature isn't all that great right now!
