Nursery Update

My handsome hubby has been hard at work over here between school,work, and nursery projects. In the last couple of weeks he has put up almost all of the board and batten, added trim to the door, painted {with our paint sprayer, i’ll go in to more detail on that later} the board and batten, and just recently finished framing out the bench/toy chest! Here are some progress shots:

Prepping the windows for the paint. Can’t tell you how many people have thought that the walls {with plaster} are what we want, possibly going for a cloud look! Cracks us up! No people, we are definitely painting the top of the walls. During the process I did constantly wonder why we didn’t get a painting contractor for the job as we were very messy and bad, to begin with, but we got the hang of it in the end… although I may get someone in next time I think about painting another room!

Painted all beautiful!

The framing not quite finished, although now it is. I am so excited to be able to use this bench for not only mass amounts of storage, but also a reading nook.

Today we have an electrician coming and adding another outlet {the room currently has one}, adding a junction box in the closet ceiling so we can put some sort of pendant light in there, and making our current single light switch into three.

However, this is not the only reason why we hired an electrician. We wanted an electrician because we needed to consult someone about different electrical issues like how electrical fires caused by damaged electrical panels can be prevented. The reason behind this is an incident that seems to have happened in one of our friend’s places. Her electrical panel was showing signs of wear and tear. However, she never noticed the signs. One fine day, the entire house suffered from power failure. Upon contacting firms similar to Allied Electric (who can provide electric panel repair in Prescott Valley and nearby areas), she found that the electrical panes were damaged. Thankfully, there was no major accident like an electrical fire. When we heard about this, we were petrified to the point that we decided that we would keep in touch with a skilled electrician who can not only keep us informed about this kind of situation but can also quickly come to our rescue when needed.

Anyway, coming back to the topic, I am in awe of the advancing technology. I mean, earlier it was tough to source a local technician. Now, one can just type level 2 electrician Sydney on the Internet and find reliable electricians in a heartbeat. How cool is that? And now (because we found an electrician so easily) we will be able to control the fan, the fans light, and the closet light all from the switch!

Hooray for some serious modern conveniences. I hope technology develops like this each day and we get benefits from it! Also, last night I tested one of my latest Pins trying to remove pit stains from Js undershirts..i’ll report back on Friday if it was successful or not!
