Today after work I was running around doing chores and unpacking boxes into assorted Christmas gift piles. While I was walking through the kitchen to the basement I noticed Darwin was perched in front of the fridge, staring intently underneath it.
After installing the living room smart thermostat, and seeing how well it worked, and how cool it was to access it from our phones, we bought 2 more Geo Lux: one for the dining room/girl cave zone and one for the bedroom zone.
Last month, when we finally turned our heat on for the year, we realized our living room thermostat had broken. The buttons did nothing. Jim suggested that instead of replacing it, we try a smart thermostat, so we could control and check our heat from our Android phones and the internet. Cool!
A few months ago I made the decision to flip flop the bedroom and girl cave light fixtures because the bedroom ones were too bright and the girl cave ones weren’t bright enough. Success! Too bad I forgot the bedroom AC was on a different circuit when I went to change out the outlet.
I woke up Saturday and decided to finally caulk the bathroom mirror frame. It’s been exactly a month since I hung the mirror, and I should have caulked it after the first week. Better late than never. I started by taping a caulk line, like I did when I caulked the kitchen counter.
In early July I decided to DIY a frame for our bathroom mirror. I headed to Home Depot and perused their molding & trim aisle at 7am on a Sunday [my favorite time to go]. I was planning to buy actual wood molding, but a style of fake wood molding caught my eye.
I won’t say hubby almost burned the house down, because nothing actually caught on fire. He just got a scare this past August when the outdoor electrical outlet shot flames at him as he unplugged his motorcycle charger.
Today I began the task of protecting our foundation from a massive mouse invasion. I believe the invasion began last spring when I installed the squirrel feeding platform. Live and learn!
I am a Federal employee & was out of work on furlough for 5 weeks from 12/22/2018 through 1/27/2019. During my forced vacation I managed to get a lot done at home, some of which I’ve already shared. This post is my last furlough project post and covers all the random, small, miscellaneous things I did!
I am a Federal employee & was out of work on furlough from 12/22/2018 through 1/27/2019. Thankfully we are back at work now! My 6th furlough project was to transfer my DVD collection from storage towers into a binder case.
