Notes
4/17
- Made copies of the key. Need to distribute the backups.
- Mapped outlets to switches. There are still some switches with unmapped purpose. Very confusing. There is one ungrounded outlet in the finished basement, one ungrounded outlet group in the porch, and one completely messed up outlet in the basement. All the bedrooms have only two-prong outlets. We may need an electrician to run some things around.
- Nybble mapped the circuit breaker box. The doorbell appears to be on its own circuit. Also, he might have missed a couple, but it's mostly done.
- Started mapping/measuring cabinets and drawers in the kitchen. I need to figure out where to put everything. The sellers left us some stonewear dishes, which will be nice to have around. I think I need a tall cabinet to display my crystal and it should go in the dining room.
- We decided today that we will probably rip out the wood paneling in the office, den, and laundry room. We need to test is for lead paint first, though. We made a trip to Costco and loaded up the car. Tomorrow we'll make a hardware store trip to get some things to start up.

Nybble wants to upgrade the outlets (his words!). I want to upgrade the faucets in the bathrooms. The kitchen faucet is actually really cool--pull out spray with a switch between stream and spray. I need to measure the ovens and see if our pans will fit. I should figure out paint swatches and stuff. There's so much to do!
For one thing, we have to come up with a name for the place, though Utter Chaos North will probably stick, to mirror Ratri and Gu's. I should probably also mimic their house stuff list. Here goes--I'm including things that we will be buying to get the house into livable shape
