Meghan doesn?t want me infecting her house blog, so I?m left to post this here. Our latest projects include staining/sealing the play structure and replacing a ton of electrical outlets and light switches.
Of course the kids don?t like the color, but it matches our deck and picnic table now.
Reese was fairly certain she could change electrical sockets with her eyes closed:
All told, we replaced 14 light switches and 20 outlets, mostly to get rid of the previous beige color Meghan called ?hideous?. Though I?m not as particular as her, I do enjoy the new light switches, especially the man-cave dimmer.
As we get near to surviving our first year in our first house, here are the major changes that have been made. Things we had someone else do entirely, professionally or otherwise, are in blue. Things we did ourselves are green. Things we had some help with, either professionally or from family/friends, are in orange.

I wonder what the next year will bring?
