I know Peep Holes(Say Three Times Fast)


Melanie and I are having th best time and she has put tremendous amounts of sweat and love equity into my new home. I could not have done any of this fun stuff without her!
So its official, I know PeepHoles! Besides my crazy neighbor Leon, who is the official welcome committee chair, moving man, and neighborhood watch into one, we have installed 1 and half(half because the other is missing) peep holes!
I know it sounds like the impossible but yet again it was another easy thing to do and the instructions were self explanatory.
And to think,I thought I was going to have to buy brand new doors.
I had to make the important purchase of a drill and I have been drilling(get your head out of the gutter) ever since.

I'm telling you the home loveliness business is so much fun. I find myself just wanting to hang out at the house- just thinking of ways to make it great.

Its Electric!

(I AM AWESOME)

It has felt like a little bit of forever but home repair is steady chugging along.
I have had a lot of house guest for the United States Social Forum, family, and one long lost friend.
but I have been doing stuff- more like buying stuff to try that i just have to take back.
One great update is that I have hot water thanks to the awesome skills of Mr. Robert and at the playa price!
My last quick and surprisingly simply project was adding a dimmer to an electric switch. i am far from an electrician- actually pretty frightened by it- but it was easy.
It actually made sense to follow the directions.(which is rare in for some of this stuff).

Voila! I have a sexy dimmer in my bathroom that I can adjust whenever I want.

You can kinda get my point. only if technology would participate and flip pictures correctly!
