During the winter we have, added a dropped ceiling to the 2nd floor, repaired the living room ceiling, rewired the chandelier in the living room, bought a new freezer and refrigerator and had an estimate done for a total rewiring of the house. The new dropped ceiling on the sec ond floor has made that hall much more attractive. It consists of pressed white tiles with fine looking wood grain track. The living room has been greatly im proved by patching, plastering and paint— ing the ceiling. Also the old wiring for the chandelier was replaced and the con ventional switch was replaced by a dimmer switch. Under the purchase column, our food area has been greatly increased by the addition of a new refrigerator and freezer. Finally, we had 4 electricians come in and give us estimates on total rewiring 9 of the house. This has become one of our first priorities, because the old wiring is a potential fire hazard.
