Mark had spring break from school last week. It was VERY needed, since he leaves the house by 6:30 every morning and Monday through Thursday nights does not get home until 10:45. Of course, he went to bed earlier, napped, and got to play on the computer during the week; but, he also got some really great handy man things done. He said it felt so good to accomplish things for US... as in, not because it was an assignment for school or work.
What started it all: our bathroom sink. I used the pipe to hoist myself out of the bathtub once (and never again) this past December and the threaded area where the pipes screw together broke, or ripped...but anyway, we couldn't use that sink--the water would drip onto the floor. Remember we have 2 other bathrooms, so it wasn't a huge deal for us. I was not strong enough to move the rest of the pipe out, but Mark was. So when he finally had more than a Saturday to pretend to replenish his strength, he got in there and removed the old pipe and voila! New and Improved.
Well, that felt so good, Mark proceeded to fix more things. This includes the antenna on top of the car. (we also hadn't been able to use our radio since fall because of a collision with the antenna and the bottom panel of the garage door (both broke). It was early, Mark was tired...
Next up: I asked Mark if he'd give the attic wiring situation a "college try" since I can't get a hold of Dom yet. He worked mightily for several hours on that dang thing. It's just that the wires aren't adding up. Don't know what needs to be done. He did get it down to what DOESN'T connect to the light switch.
