It's been a gruelling 3 weeks. Quentin has worked on the electrical for the preschool/theater room every single chance he got. He worked 16 hours on Saturdays and most weeknights after work for about 4 hours. Whew. But it's done - finally!! He ran into quite a few "snafoos" (I have no idea where he got that word) and had to improvise on a few things. He ran 350 feet of wire, and now we have 8 recessed lights, 6 outlets, lines and boxes for 7 sconces, and lines and boxes for the projector, subwoofer, speakers and theater system. Yippee!
Quentin had to turn the power off a couple of times yesterday. The last time was around 8:00 and it was off for a couple of hours. The girls thought it was an adventure, since it was starting to get dark around that time. We got out our lanterns and lit some candles. Kiera said, "It's like Christmas and we're poor!" And Kasidee kept singing "Happy Birthday" to herself over and over. But the girls and I had fun playing My Little Pony and reading stories by candlelight. They were all asleep by the time Quentin got done, but they were so excited to see the new lighting in the room this morning. It's starting to look like a real room rather than a shop/storage room! Next up: Mounting the speakers before we sheetrock around them, and putting in insulation on 1 1/2 walls. It's coming along, slowly but surely!
