I actually thought of this, want to do it in a couple of areas around the house. There's no such thing as too much ventilation, right? Thanks Brett!

Looks great. Here's what we did to solve the litterbox problem. We had a small coat closet on the third floor of our house. I emptied the closet and had a contractor install a bathroom-style vent fan in the ceiling and a small fluorescent light fixture. Then I cut a small hole in the wall to install one of those pre-fab cat doors. Now I keep the litter in this tiny room and keep the door shut all the time. The cats go in and out via their little cat door. The vent fan does a great job. So you never see or smell the litterbox unless you know to open the door and go in there. Brett Congrats on the house.

It's low, and divides up the rooms too much. The electrical work is spotty (true of the majority of the pre-1960's houses we looked at)- we took a ground tester over, and some outlets were grounded and some were not, which makes me think there is still some cloth wiring. I would like to completely re-drywall the downstairs (ick) sometime in the future, and would probably redo the electrical then. You know, I usually like arches, but this one bugs me.

While I can understand your desire for big rooms, I think that it's a shame to knock down that wonderful arch. I hope the electrical will be ok for everything you'll be moving in. Congratulations!
