Will this remodel ever end??? On Wednesday I came to find that the wires had been attached wrong to the electricity in my room, so it was not safe to turn on the lights at all. And, the pilot light went out on the hot water heater, so I had no hot water for a shower (and still don't)! Thursday one of the workers supposedly "fixed" the electricity, but when I got home, I could not turn off the bathroom light, could not turn on the bedroom light (but the fan worked) and when I flipped both of the switches the bathroom light would dim... So, on Friday a REAL electrician can in... He was confused (never a good sign) about what the non electrician had done to my wiring. Seems that a wire went "missing" somewhere in the wall... Took the electrician two hours to find it and get my electricity figured out... BUT, that's not where this story ends, oh no, the electrician then decides (thankfully) to point out that the wiring near the hot water heater is not up to code, it has to be a special type of 'cgi' wire (or something like that). So, great, the risk of shock has not been diminished, just moved across the room. Oh and I still don't have hot water, because the igniter is broken...
There is a point to all of this... I still have a couple of days to work on genealogy, but I'm not getting very much done because of contractor interruption and general remodel stress. I'll see if tomorrow (Sunday) when the construction isn't going on, I can get some real work done (but again, there is plenty of work in my other classes, not that its an excuse)... I did get my paper ready for Thursday on MSNBC, and posted the links to some of their sites. ;)
