Electricity, Part 2

Our friendly neighborhood electrician came back Monday for Round 2 of our electrical upgrade.

You may remember the singed wires from July’s adventure. This time, he replaced all the switches and outlets in the original part of our 40ish-year-old house - and found a few of them had the same burning "I’m old and cranky" issue - 

and will be back in a few months to replace all the outlets/switches in the newer remodel. Pretty, shiny, new electrical hardware makes me so happy. 

And of course, while we were moving furniture so Jeremy would have access to the plugs, we found another problem. 

A window in my craft room has been leaking and the carpet behind a heavy file cabinet has . . . mold? dirt? yuckies? So gross. 

Youngest son spent his day off today ripping out the offending carpet and replacing it with linoleum tiles. 

Doesn’t he do nice work? Eventually, all the carpet will be replaced by tile, a section at a time, as we redesign my sewing area. Can’t wait to have everything in place and get back to crafting.
