We have lights!

I need a uber-exclamation mark. the regular one just doesn't cut it. That's right, tonight Matt and I connected up the rest of the wiring for the lights.

First we put the wires back in the box and the covers on. Dimmer is on the left and the switch for the fan is on the right (since we haven't bought the fan yet, that will have to wait for a later post)

Then we strung the wire into the box and connected up the new box. We left some wire in case we ever need to move the boxes around. Its easy to make wire shorter, pretty much impossible to make it longer... (also, Matt wanted me to let everyone know that he did tack up the wire after this picture was taken, so it is to code)

Then, we gave it a test run. Here's dim:

And here's full strength

It is super awesome. You tap twice to turn on full strength, once to go to the level of dim it was when you turned it off. Each location can dim the light up or down using the little tabs on the side and it fades to off when you tap once with the light already on. I can't wait till we drywall it all back up and get to move back in. I might just stand there and turn them on and dim and off for a while.
