I also purchased a ceiling fan and hall light for upstairs. We have to defer until Uncle Kurt can come work his magic since the electrical issues keep piling up in this house. In the last few days the laundry room light, the popcorn hallway light and the study light have been flickering. It is like morris code. Well, it WAS like that until today when they all three won't turn on. The garage light and the upstairs bathroom light have also gone ca-put. Boo. We are running out of working lights! Sam checked the circuit breakers and things look a little sizzled.
Besides our electrical issues and curtains, Sam and the boys chopped down the mass of overgrowth that was back there. We literally had a compost back there under all the bushes. It was nice to get that all cleaned up and cut down.
I scrubbed the upstairs bathroom and made that usable. Power saws just laying on the ground - probably was not the best idea for the kids. :) By doing this, it also freed up more space in the downstairs bathroom. We can put all our toiletries upstairs - well, for the most part anyway.
The big bummer of the week was finding that the dust and dirt I kept stepping on in our bedroom in the dark was not that, but termite droppings. So we had two estimates today and hope to get that squared away in the next couple weeks.
The other homey touch (and it could probably be considered a safety issue as well) I accomplished today was putting up new electrical outlet covers throughout the whole house. We still have to change out a few of the plugs themselves (what are those called again?) as well as all the light switches and covers. I bought everything, but we can't do any electrical until we know it's safe. Hopefully by Saturday we will have more functioning lights and new switches by next week! :)
OKay, that's it for now!
