Rob Could have Been an Electrician

Rob has started to take on some household projects that he has never done before. It gives him a sort of high to learn something new and then carry out a project until it’s finished. It’s a quality that I really love in him, and that I’m hoping will rub off on me one of these days. He recently took on one that has made a surprising difference in the house. It only cost about $20.00 and it has taken about 20 years off the look of the walls. He changed the light switches and some of the plugs from the old beige ones to sparkling new white ones! He turned off all of the circuit breakers one at a time and made his way through the house. So here’s a tip for anyone wanting to contemporize their home without spending a lot of money. It sounds like a little thing, but I’m telling you, it makes a huge difference. Thanks sweetie!

Stay tuned for his next adventure in wiring…

    Yeah Rob, why waste all of your time and talents in Law when you could be re-wiring houses? Seriously, that looks awesome, it really does make quite a difference even in the pics.

    Mark isn’t the handies guy in the world, and he’ll even admit it. But he tried to install a cealing fan in the babies room once and we both thought he did a good job, until Gary came over and was scared to stand under it. That’s a bad sign so Gary helped us out and secured it from the attic and now its fine.
