The first step is the hardest


July 8th, 2008

Finally we are moving forward with work on the house. Between visitors, visiting, school, work, being exhausted and general laziness we have done some work on the house! I finally got a ladder, ok I got it a while ago, but I finally got a ladder that will allow me to paint the window above the bulk head. The glass is now re-glazed, storm window removed, and base coat of paint applied. Tonight I am going to put the top coat of paint on the window and all the windows will be completely, 100% done. On to the second floor!…eek.

Dave dove right into, ok more like he has edged his big toe in the water of bathroom work before jumping in. But now he is in! and the result…all the electrical work is done. If we had tile on the floors they could be warm on the tootsies. If the beautiful venting light were installed, it would look amazing and functional. Currently it is beautiful and functional sitting on top of the bath tub. =)

So we are officially moving forward with the bathroom and the house paining! Yippee!!!

Switches

From top to bottom: thermostat for the floor, light switch and junction box

Bathroom Light
This is our light/fan…though obviously not mounted. One step at a time here people, really!

Bathroom Light 2
It even works! ooooo…pretty!

I know this doesn’t look like a big step forward..but really, it was a lot of work.  Running wires and doing wiring takes a lot longer than you might think. Then you are wonderfully left with the anticlimactic feeling of not doing much. Well, except for those darn lights working.
