In October, we hooked up the Solar Panels. We ended up leasing them through Sun Valley Solar (another great company we'd highly recommend!) http://www.svssolutions.com - Russ Patzer. Already, we're seeing huge savings.

The panels are attached to a platform that can tilt toward the sun.
Four times a year, we plan on adjusting them in order to maximize their benefit.
TILE
Over the past few months, Jeff and I have been picking out tile and cabinets. It has been a harder process than we thought. There are so many options and styles, plus, trying to find something we both like takes time. But...we finally picked it out and are both really happy with what we found!
Powder Room Tile Floor
We have all the tools, so Jeff decided to lay tile himself. With the help of Martin, Ed, and me (Doti), we were able to get a lot of it done this week!
INTERIOR DOORS AND BASEBOARDS
The interior doors are in and finally hung. Jeff and Martin have put in most of the baseboards, while Jeremy (friend) and Doti puddy and sand the nail holes.
INTERIOR PAINTING
In preparation of the tile and cabinets, we've started painting. For the most part, the house will be a light gray. However, a few areas are reserved for color... for example, our Laundry Room!
Laundry Room - Painted Peace River Blue...I love it!
Jeff thinks it's a bit bright, but it's growing on him!
We are preparing to put the wood floor in the racquetball court. First, however, we needed to clean the room. It was full of dirt, finger prints, and dusty ball markings all over the walls. (I wish I had a before picture!) It took 3+ hours with 4 people cleaning it, but it's nice and clean now. Notice the scaffolding. Jeff was on top, Jeremy was in the middle and Doti/Martin were on the floor. Jeff even wiped off the ceiling!
STAINED CONCRETE - photo to come soon.
We decided to stain the concrete in the basement. It turned out great; even better than we hoped. If anyone needs a referal, let us know. We highly recommend:
