Improving

We've been hard at work over here.  Lots of rewiring to get rid of the knob and tube.  We've also added switches and outlets to more convenient places and gotten rid of the ones that didn't make sense. We're turning 2 circuits into 6, which will also be more safe and hopefully help with the flickering lights.  We finished the first circuit no real problems.  The second circuit has proven more difficult with limited access to run wire.  I'm excited to have lights in the kitchen again someday.



A new project means new tools for Aaron, including these extenders for his drill and a Rotozip which I think he is loving.


This little project is up next.  I started cleaning off the soot with soap and water and got quite a bit off, but need to TSP to finish it up for painting.


I painted our bed frame white and decided the night stands needed to be painted too.  My vote was for ombre, but Aaron opted for white.  I'm still leaning towards ombre.  Thoughts?


Yes that lamp needs a new light shade badly...the white is okay.  But I think they need some color.  I do like the crystal knobs however.


Meanwhile we have been plotting for our next big project.  Stay tuned.
