Christmas cheer

First, an update. The heat is back on downstairs, and we have hot water. This was actually resolved late on Tuesday night. The end result was that half of our circuit brakers weren't recieving the right amount of electricity, and so they were pulling from the ones that were working. So, if you tried to do something stilly like run more than one thing at at time (AKA furnace and hot water heater), neither could get enough electricity to properly work. Our contractor completely replaced our box on Wednesday, and everything was (and is) working fine. Whew!!

Second, a bit of Christmas cheer (since we're a week away). I call it, the New Homeowners 12 Days of Christmas.

On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me....
12 new outlets
11 sheets of 'rock
10 random hammers
9 gallons of paint (so far)
8 new circuit breakers
7 clean bandaids
6 helpers demo-ing (thanks Pat, Mike, Eric, Tai, Emily and Jeff!!)
5 trips to Menards (per project)
4 stacks of plywood
3 walls missing
2 full dumpsters
and a heating bill from NSP!!
