We are still in the midst of little projects here and there... What is wrong with this picture? Well, apparently the previous owner needed some electricity somewhere else and decided to cut the insulation off of these wires and just wind the new wire around it... brilliant? or stupid? Code says STUPID!!
Let's take a closer look...
uh huh....
We really needed to fix a problem in the living room. We both have laptops...Mine sits on the cedar chest when plugged in...Rich was sitting his on an end table across the room from the couch (where he typically uses it) and using a long white double ended extension cord...which dragged under the table, under a chair and across the room to the couch. I hated it...I was always tripping over it. There is no other plug nearer so we decided to add one in the floor underneath the end table between our couches.. Luckily we have an open basement so it's very easy to get electric from one place to another.

| First you buy this...and even though it says all instructions are inside..they aren't... |
 |
| and then you measure once..measure twice...and cut a hole in the floor |
 |
| and we now have a little less mess.. That white cord hanging down from the top of the table is my camera cord. I didn't notice it was hanging there until I uploaded the photo...And I moved the table back to get the photo...when the table is in the right place you can't even see the plug. And we are in the middle of finding a small brown extension cord to use. These outlets only come with one outlet so to plug in a lamp AND the computer we need it. We looked three places yesterday and can't find one.. OH...he also fixed the mess of the electric before..but I am just too tired to go down there and take a photo..Trust me it's up to code now.. |

| This is the before view from my sewing room.. |
 |
| and the AFTER view... Do you see anything different? |
 |
| Rich hung my bird feeder...He got it for me for Christmas and I hope to attract all kinds of birds to watch while I sew... |
He made a little pulley system so I can go let it down, fill it up and pull it back up again... He's so smart!!
 |
| This is why the bird feeder is a good idea... Cat hiding behind cat feeder on left...bird feasting on bird feed on right... No birds (or cats) have been harmed yet...but it was only a matter of time.. |

Sorry... my eyes are good... but not that good! I'm looking where? In a tree.... which one? So glad you have a clever fellow! So now... does this make you guys want to go check out all of the wiring in the attic/basement? It certainly would me!
Glad to see your giving the birds an even chance... and your an equal animal feeder too! But, where is the dog?
The bird feeder is a great idea. We loved watching ours when we lived in Missouri.Enjoy. Now we have the kookaburras waking us in the morning.,
I still can't see that feeder in the after picture, either!!! Good idea, though.....would be kind of horrid to be sewing and watch a bird get murdered one day by a cat. :(
