The good and the bad!!!!!

We have been working hard these past few weeks.We finished replacing all the electric wiring in the living room.As usual we thought this would be an "easy" room but turned out to be more time consuming than we planned.I have 4 new outlets and a gorgeous antique chandelier installed!!!! I have been waiting for this chandelier for 5 years to be hung in my house!!!! It used to be in my dad's house in Chicago and he brought it over a few months ago.My husband did not want to install it until we rewired the room. I have been patching up the holes in the walls that had to be made( to pull wire) and touch up painting .Now for the bad,my camera is totally dead!!!! I thought it was the internal battery (one I never knew it had until a week ago!!!!) so we replaced it and put the regular batteries in it and still it is not working!!!! UGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!
I have to buy a new camera !!! I did want a new one any way but it will have to wait for a while . In the mean time I will try to have Trent(hubby) take a few pictures with his Iphone!!!!!!

Clean Up!!!!

We finished most of the electric the last three days.Tin ceiling room is complete!!!!! That room originally had only one outlet now it has three!!!! Also the light fixture was not properly mounted and now is secure!!!!! When we bought the house this room had a hole in the ceiling and was the room that I thought needed the most work but now it is my favorite!!!!! We installed the tin ceiling about 3 years ago and I LOVE my ceiling!!! The dining room which is the next room over has a new light switch,and 5 new outlets !!!!! This room originally had two outlets but only one was functioning!!!! The hole in the ceiling is still there !!!! We ran out of time to put in a light fixture,also we have to buy a new ceiling fan. I decided to put my vintage chandelier in the living room instead of the dining room.We rewired half of the kitchen and pulled wire through the living room but didn't finish.Trent has to go back to work today so we will pick up where we left off next week end.Today I will be cleaning up the plaster dust, wire ,tools and trying to get back to a functioning household!!!
