OK, so we're all recovering from our Thanksgiving feast. Many folks are, as I type, getting ready to hang the Christmas lights, while the kitchen goes into a cookie-baking frenzy.

I'd like your comments. Look around you. How well did the electrical design hold up? Were there receptacles where needed- or were cords strung out all over? Was the outdoor lighting receptacle well placed- or is it in the one place the ladder can't reach?

Let's look at that kitchen layout. How was that island really used? Would you have been better off if you could simply wheel the thing into the dining room?

Were you happy with the lighting? How about the switch locations?
