Last Sunday - More Project

(it took me a while to finish this sequence because I got tired of writing. Why doesn't someone else write??? ahem... Mrs. Ham House I'm looking your way!)

So last Sunday brought more plaster work, more tile work, and more sanding. The room needed some additional plaster work after Saturday's plaster work finished drying. Thankfully the Ham House's father came back for another day to help out.


Unfortunatley, during one of the work intermissions I thought I could use some of my dad's tools to reset our thermostat into the wall. I didn't have the right tools when I installed our new digital thermostat so I had to attach it in a less than ideal way. However, after we reset it in the wall, the thermostat didn't turn the furnace on. So when I took the thermostat off again I discovered that the wires for the thermostat had fallen back into the wall. At this point I had visions of tearing the whole wall apart to dig the wires back out. Fortunatley my dad knew how to handle it. He just lowered a nail on a string into the hole and went to the basement to search for where the wires went up into the first floor. Brilliant! When he found the wires he tied them up to the string and we pulled the wires back up into the wall. Easy! Thank god he was there.
