Well, Eli and I have started slowing down a little on working on the house now that it is really starting to come around! And so Ness put together this AWESOME folder for working on schoolwork. Below is an example of Eli's work on day 1. What a smart guy!
Why put a picture of a thermostat? Because it is an example of what we are dealing with when fixing a home "with character". Old thermostat with wires going through the register ... absolutely no space between inner wall and outer stone ... three holes bored into the wall to learn this ... wiring completely redone and thermostat relocated ... one Saturday completely wasted. But at the end of the day a project that should have taken about 15 minutes took 3 hours and no less than 13 different tools used. "Character"? Yeah ... whatever.
