We finally got around to calling the electrician for a return visit. Upon his arrival in the AM, Gareth showed him the various things to do and headed to work. And then...nothing! No email, no call, no nothing. We weren't sure whether he had taken our stuff to head for the hills, finished the job, or was dead in our house having electrocuted himself in the process of doing work for us.
It wasn't until Sarah arrived home at 5:30 that we were finally able to see what had been done. The big change is the dining room light. After hanging for nearly a year with no juice, it now actually works!! Also, a number of outlets were upgraded to grounded outlets and the kitchen and bathroom got GFI outlets. No more fear of getting zapped while using the blow drier. Also, the nice guy fixed up a number of outlets in the basement and changed out a few black switches for white ones. I guess he didn't approve of our black switch/white plate scheme.
We still have no idea how much this is going to set us back since they were quicker to schedule the work than send us a quote. If only that would happen with the front door awning and gutters!
