This was supposed to be the plumbing day, and for the
most part, it was. But I left for work at 5:45am and
returned at around 4:30pm only to discover that, in
addition to a new condo shut-off, a toilet shut-off,
a new shower mixer, raised shower head and tub spout,
installed tub and drain...we had also begun
electrical work.
The cats were happy to be locked in our bedroom. Or maybe I'm getting that mixed up.
Originally, electrical involved moving the over-mirror light and adding a new fan. But with Andrew's help (and Jenn's insistence), we had enlarged our plans to include a fan/light/heater. On top of that, we took a look at the condo's circuit map and discovered that our office is on the same circuit as the bathroom. Andrew realized we could fix this back at the fuse box, and told us that having the heater in the bathroom was a good reason to do it. We said okay.
When I got home most of the wire had been pulled, the fuse box had been modified with our split circuit, and Andrew had installed an access panel in the closet that allowed him to fiddle with the fuse box more easily. That was pretty much the end of the day.
