Today, I finished painting the last wall of the downstairs family room. Cyndi picked a nice, off white cream type color that was also used upstairs. Since we painted over the paneling, we had to replace the dark brown electrical outlets with white ones. So I taught Adam how to do it, from finding the circuit breaker, to checking the outlet, to replacing it. Of course, I didn’t think to take pictures until he was done, but oh well.

Here’s Adam putting the finishing touches on his work. No, I didn’t tell him to stick his fingers in there like Uncle Mark did to see if he connected the wires properly:<\/P>

We need to put some finishing touches on the wall above the mantle piece, then finish the edges of the mantle piece itself. After that, I can rewire the surround sound speakers and we’re back in business. Then we gotta clean the house….<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
