Our warm weather has returned and the pond is running full with all the extra water we’ve gotten. My babies went to the zoo this morning while I was able to get some more work done on the house. Yesterday we got a grout blade for an oscillating tool and today I was able to remove some tiles. Thankfully I found replacement tiles in the garage, but the previous owner did things so sill. Pretty much everything in the house is custom cut, meaning nothing is done in standard practices. When I harp on the necessity of rules, it extends to everything, the government had to force electronics makers to use the same system as a risk prevention. Who knows what sorts of jerry rigging people would set up with hundreds of different outlet shapes. The previous owner didn’t tile the floor completely, even though it would fit flush, instead they cut tiles to line up with cabinets that they built. I only had to remove the cut tiles and it will hopefully be easy to fill in the gap. This morning I also stained some wood, filled some holes, and replaced another light fixture. The old light fixture was missing one of the glass covers for the bulb and it’s cheaper to get a whole new fixture than to replace one piece of glass. Hopefully this marks the last electrical project I have to do, interestingly enough electrical work is what I’m most competent in, it’s just so happens to be one of the more scarier jobs. Electricity is a strange magical force, I’m research how to make electricity and I doubt most people understand it to the level of copper spools and magnets spinning, but even if the process is known, how do magnets work?
