ELECTRICAL MISHAPS

Tom's parents were at the house a few days this week during the day. His dad wired up the outlets in the basement and had some issues... We poked some holes in the sheetrock because we thought an outlet might be hidden, but after looking at pictures we decided there was no outlet there and the issue must be somewhere else... The breaker kept popping and I guess a black and ground were touching somewhere... All fixed...

Also found another electrical issue... There was no power in the outlets over the bar counter or the nook in the dining room... these are fed from the GFI in the powder room... apparently there is no link between the GFI in the powder room and the first outlet over the bar counter... OOOPS! my fault... so his dad figured out a way to drill holes from the basement withouth hitting any other pipes or wires to run the jumper between the outlets... NOW they work!

After work we finished up the stools and put in the extension jambs on the second floor... and yesterday we started to install the casing. LOOKS GOOD! Tommy also started to finish up the rest of the door installation yesterday, but there are still a few more to finish.

Our groundhog came out of hibernation... There is a big mudhole in the snow outside the sliding glass door and muddy footprints in the snow... He has decided he is done with winter and although I like the SNOW days, I am ready for some springtime weather.
