Please PAHLEASE don't electrocute yourself!!!

When we were discussing things that we could do ourselves Jordan said he could do the outlets and the switches himself (no need to pay someone).  I am pretty sure he heard the teeth suck clearly half way across the world.  But The Man said he had itI had to trust he had it.  And let me tell you....he TOTALLY did...until the front entrance.  Where for three solid hours he cussed at the switches climbed up and down the stairs at least a hundred times and couldn't get them to work.  All I heard was "this doesn't make sense, why would you wire this backwards?!?!?!"  I tried so so sooo very hard not to be snarky with my comments but I finally had to pull him aside and say "its because it's our house that everything is backwards...can we please call the electrician now so we can enjoy our day?"  He gave in and a couple bennies later the lights work...ish...the flood light is a super emotional whence that goes on in a breeze but not when someone walks buy.  Again...our house...why wouldn't it be moody :)



What's in a door...EVERYTHING!!

Jordan and I went to look at front and garage doors knowing that they are going to have to be replaced before the cold sets in.  The color we had picked for the front door was just perfect for me but I was super super concerned that it wasn't going to be something that he liked.  So off to Lowe's I went to do a color match.  And this is a testament to just how much time I have spent there in the past 90 days when I walk up to the paint area, my expert Donna looks at her trainee Sam and says " I don't care what you are working on when you see this lady you stop and help her.  She spends A LOT of money in this store!" 
Yes....yes I do...(le sigh)

So here is where we are going for the door concepts
This is what was in the house
This is the color we picked out I'm thinking its gonna look fancy!!
