The Tuesday before we left for the Turkey holiday, Karishma and I finished the construction of all the programming and physical construction for the rooms. We finished the sensor for opening the room of requirement and the fireplace to talk to Sirius is constructed and hooked up. That's probably one of the coolest and one of my favorite rooms. When you speak, the light in the fire turns from red to green, like when harry talked to Sirius in the fire in Order of the Phoenix. So that leaves Decor and making this into a Hogwarts castle. Finding a stuffed animal to play Fluffy may pose a problem, but that's the only thing I can think of at the moment that needs attention. We'll find something, it just may not be the perfect Fluffy. Even if we end of making a sock puppet. Hey, that's not a bad idea. The Great Hall needs to be hung with the House Banners, and the fireplace room could use some Gryffindor cheer.
Anyways, here are some pictures of the bare rooms in our castle.

This is the box-ish fireplace. You can see the light inside. It will change colors from red to green, when spoken.
One of mine and Karishma's favorite parts to the castle. |

This picture was taken outside the room of requirement.
The foil sensor in front needs to be tapped three times and then the room will open. |

This cricket resides behind the fireplace and powers the light for the fireplace.
Of all the switches to flip, this one is the most difficult, because its near so many walls,
but its not impossible. |
That's our current progress update. Little more than a week and we'll be presenting the castle at our class exhibition. I'm excited!
