Electrical, Tile, and Easter, Oh My!

Last week, I spent some time working on the electrical panels. Day one, after a trip to the hardware store for grounding lugs and whatnot, I finished the upstairs sub-panel. I figured after getting some practice on the little panel, I would be able to get the main panel knocked out in a day. But things always seem to take longer than you expect they will.

I must admit, I am pleased with the results, and if anybody gets in there and messes with my wires, I might cry. Or punch the perpetrator. Or both.

Friday, we started working on the tile in the kids' bathroom upstairs. Our neighbor used to own a flooring business, and a few years ago, had given us a large stack of salesman samples. Peeling the tiles off the display boards had been a pain in the booty, not to mention the glue we had to scrape off the back of the tiles.

 But I'm really happy with the results.

Saturday, the kids colored Easter eggs. This one of Zivah's was my favorite.

Sunday, we went to an early morning community service where several of the area churches come together to celebrate Easter, then spent the afternoon relaxing with my family. It was a lovely day.

Now it's crunch time. We have carpet scheduled to be installed the 19th of May, and there is a lot to get done before hand. All the baseboard needs to be put up in all the bedrooms and upstairs, tile done in the master bath, and other odds and ends. I'm hoping the kids won't die of neglect in the meantime.
