The Week from Hell!

Yeah it was supposed to be a "vacation" but we have done nothing but work our asses off! This house is huge! And we have been doing all the wiring/electrical work ourselves! I can tell you this, I wouldn't want to be an electritian! As a matter of fact I want to resign as being one right now! Who knew how all this shit went together? All I really knew was you go to a plug or a swtich and use it, power came out, end of story! Little did I know all the wire that needs running to each other and to the main box and did you see the size of this house? There are about a million plugs, switches, lighting fixtures, speakers that all need wiring to and from it! And then they need to be stapled to the wood, just exactly so! It's a huge pain in the ass, but I see why electricians make so much money! Here is a sample of my handy work in our new kitchen!

That's my new desk area! The outside plywood is almost done being put up and you can really see the size of each room as well as the front of the house! It's just incredible! The house is going to be fantastic when it's done! My mom came over for the first time since we started on Christmas day. She was completely knocked out! Last time she saw our house, we were living in it like "normal" people!

I will say today is an excellent day! It's Saturday, it's raining (ok that's not so fabulous, but we are covered up!) and the guys are out there working and the plumbers are here working! It's a great sight, as well as there are too many people in the house so there is no room for us to work upstairs (shed a huge tear). Good thing there's NFL on today.......
