So Mary, Rosie, and I moved into our new (to us) home this past week. Ah, home ownership is much different than owning a condo. Specially if the place was built in 1969 and there were many, many cobbled together repairs and additions. Some things need to be done, some things I’d like to have done. One of the first things to tackle is the electric. The house already has 200 amp service, so that’s been taken care of already. Problem is (or is is problems are): need to have fan boxes in bedrooms added, 2-prong outlets changed to 3-prong following code, switches wired logically to fixtures, studio wired to dedicated circuit wit the addition of GFIs, hardwired smokes installed, phone jacks and lines run (!?). Granted, these issues aren’t major, just more of annoyances than anything else.
Major will be when I have the outbuilding constructed for the electric kiln. Hopefully I’ll actually be posting regular updates on all the projects…

Dear Chris,
Just wanted to share that a very knowledgable Japanese guest visited me yesterday and she took off her rings to pick up the Pink Shino Hagi I purchased from you through Tea Chat. She was very impressed with it.
I just thought you might enjoy hearing about that praise.
