New Kitchen Lighting Gripes
The electricians finally showed up this morning, installed 8 LED fixtures with new conduit, j-boxes, wiring and wall switches with dimmers. The Missus told them she also wanted two pendants over the island.

From the You Get What You Pay For Department: In construction, you can only pick two of the following three:
(A) Low-cost, (B) High quality and (C) Fast completion. Brad Pitt’s well-meaning charitable foundation chose A and C, and the houses are falling apart after less than a decade.
