2024-06-15: Working on the house

 

Chris and I have owned this house for 2 years now and we have not done anything to it since we moved it. We decided we wanted to change that. We started with the backyard, getting grass put in. Next up was to install a fan/light in the office and replace the one in the bedroom. The house was built in the late 1990s and the fixtures definitely look like it. Since the master bedroom already had a fan, it had two switches, one for the fan and one for the light. The office, however, only has a switch for the light. As such, we bought a fan/light with a remote for the office. We decided to share the work. I got to install the fan/light into the office.

The installation went pretty well. The instructions are easy to follow. It felt good when I pushed the button on the remote and the light came on. Even the fan works.


Next up was Chris's turn. The first thing he had to do was remove the existing fan. Although that sounds simple enough, it was not. The two screws that hold the fan up and been stripped when it was installed. 

He couldn't find the tool he needed so we had to take a trip to the hardware store to pick it up. Chris gets frustrated when he can't find his tools. The good part is he knows it is his own fault. I will say that he is cute when he get frustrated. 

In the end, he got the new one installed and working. It is nice to have fans in both rooms that match. We have lots of other plans for the place. We know that we will eventually sell this place, but want to fix it up while we live here so we can enjoy it.  I hope you all have a wonderful day.


With Love

Katie
