Library painted and outlets wired
Sarah and I finished the painting today. It turned out very nice. I even had time to wire the outlets and light switch. Of course the last outlet I wired is where the main power comes in to the room. Now there was no reason for the power to be on so of course I did not check the breaker. When I went to shorten the wires with my high dollar expensive cross cut pliers I melted them! As I am hollering and swearing about that moron that flipped the breaker on (me months ago) Sarah hollers back that I am that moron (teenagers are always so helpful). That is the second $35 pair of cross cut pliers I have melted. Now the good news is I keep getting the ones with insulated handles so other than the shower of sparks there was no personal injury on my part. I tried to install the light, but I need to go to the hardware store and buy some special bolts. So tomorrow I will hang the light and install the last section of pegboard. Then I can clean the whole room up and it will be all ready for company. I will even move our slat bed into the room. I am done much sooner than I expected.
