It is funny what you discover when you start doing work on a home.\u00c2\u00a0 It starts with paint, then with the floors being replaced, then the closet doors (I have 6 closets!).\u00c2\u00a0 As we painted, we discovered that who ever painted before didn’t bother covering the electrical outlets and switches, so they were caked with paint and kind of dangerous.<\/p>\n
I managed to give myself a minor<\/em> <\/strong>shock a few weeks ago when plugging in my hairdryer.\u00c2\u00a0 My friend’s dad came over on Sunday to show how to change the electrical outlets, which was really nice of him.\u00c2\u00a0 Electricity + Sholeh = Not Good.<\/p>\n I feel like I haven’t really been home enough to do everything I want to do.\u00c2\u00a0 The last month has been super busy, and it doesn’t look like things are going to slow down anytime soon.\u00c2\u00a0 I sometimes wish I could just shut everything off for a week and hide out like a hermit in my cozy home.\u00c2\u00a0 At least I have internet now!<\/p>\n Part of the reason that I still<\/em> haven’t posted photos is that I feel like it isn’t done yet.\u00c2\u00a0 I want to get the scraps out of my living room, install doors, and put the finishing touches on.\u00c2\u00a0 I promise it will be soon!\u00c2\u00a0 Thanks to my parents, it is furnished, which is a huge relief.<\/p>\n Have you ever had home improvement projects go terribly wrong, or have something hilarious happen? <\/strong> Tell me about it in the comments, I love hearing about other people’s experiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is funny what you discover when you start doing work on a home.\u00c2\u00a0 It starts with paint, then with the floors being replaced, then the closet doors (I have 6 closets!).\u00c2\u00a0 As we painted, we discovered that who ever…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[9,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-humor","category-personal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sholeh.calmstorm.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sholeh.calmstorm.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sholeh.calmstorm.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sholeh.calmstorm.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sholeh.calmstorm.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1979"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/sholeh.calmstorm.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1979\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2116,"href":"https:\/\/sholeh.calmstorm.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1979\/revisions\/2116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sholeh.calmstorm.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sholeh.calmstorm.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sholeh.calmstorm.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
