New House

Since my dad died when I was 11, I didn't really have someone around who could show me how to do basic handyman stuff. I guess that's sort of a right of passage. Where fathers show their sons how to fix a leaky pipe, or how to change spark plugs in a car. I was a bit young, so my dad never really got to show me those sorts of things. So now that I own a house, there always seems to be something that needs to be cleaned, fixed, installed, improved etc. Luckily for me, my father in law is very handy. He has helped a lot with the new house. One of the things he recently showed me was how to do some basic electrical wiring. But now Im so hooked. I went out and bought all new light switches for the house and have been wiring them throughout the week. But Im proud of myself that I learned how to do something new. I hope to continue with this, and keep building my knowledgebase, because life can be pretty boring when you don't try new things. My brother in law Daniel has been doing some amazing furniture building. I'd really like to learn how to build stuff like that.

I posted a few pictures of the new house below. I started taking pictures the other day and the battery lost its charge, so I only got a few shots. But this gives an idea of the improvements we made.


Here's the living room...
