Man, power!

So, did we mention? We bought a place with ...some... electricity. Incorrect wiring, a broken fuse box, fire hazards, you name it -- it was bad. For the past month we had two working lights, and extension cords on the only outlet that worked properly.

My brother is an electrician ... last week he visited with his big bag o tools. After several Home Depot trips and two days of drilling, chopping, pulling, and other noisy fun (and two bags of rubble out the door), every switch, outlet and light now works! He pulled out all the messy code violations, upgraded the box, the lines, outlets, and switches, and even added an outlet in the bathroom. (Can you believe there weren't any?)

And now we can see in the dark!! ... My gosh, our place is becoming normal!!
