Then came the really tough project, and apparently during this project I was too distracted to take any pictures. While SIL Sarah's house was being built they had the option to put an outlet in the eaves to plug in Christmas lights. Bryce thought this was a great idea, keeps the extension cords out of the way and such, and since I am a HUGE fan of Christmas lights, he decided we should have one of these outlets as well.
Unfortunately it was a little more difficult than anticipated because the roof lines in our house come down making it impossible for Bryce to get from the back of the house, where the attic access is, to the front of the house, where we wanted the outlet. But after a couple of extra runs to the hardware store and some help from Paul, they were able to feed the wire across the attic without climbing in there, and we now have a working outlet in the eaves. I am starting to get excited about our first Christmas in our house!
I love this post ... made me laugh! Also made Sarah laugh when I read her the part about finding something that annoys Bryce and he will come up with a solution. She always enjoyed finding things to annoy him! I'm happy that you now have outlets to plug in lights and no extension cords running out of the front door.
ReplyDeleteLOVE Christmas lights! Maybe we should make a trip your way this winter to see the house and appreciate your lights.
