daddy do list

 Honey do. Daddy do. PLEASE! There have been a few things we wanted to do in the house but we felt like we needed some supervision and help. Like I’ve said before, my dad knows how to do everything so his visit this past weekend was perfect timing. The big joke is that most of us don’t really know what my dad does for a living besides “everything” so that naturally only leaves one option.. he’s in the mafia.  When he is not moonlighting as the boss of the Irish mafia he spends his spare time fixing things. I think he is or was an electrician at some point or pretends to be and has a minion that really does the work for him. Either way, we were waiting for his visit to help with a few projects. While my mom and I went WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING (!!!! Eeek!!!!) the boys stayed home and checked some things off the honey/Daddy do list..

1.      Install a ceiling fan in the living room- connection box (technical term- TBD) already existed

2.      Install a dimmer switch for the living room can lights- so now I won’t have to wear sunscreen while watching Gossip Girl

3.      Move blank plate from said connection box in the living room to replace the crack house light in the kitchen.

They did a great job! They finished all 3 things by the time we returned with a case of beer, champagne, an invoice for a purchased wedding dress and 4 different kinds of cheese. I’ll let you decide which I was the most excited about..

Here’s how everything looks!



BING!




BAM!



Boom! (box cover and speaker on the right)

The next question will be, why a fan.. in NOVEMEBER? The answer is- because it will circulate the heat if you turn it backwards. Which still blows my mind and I have a hard time wrapping my head around the logic of it but I’m trusting RC and my Dad on this one. Other than those little projects, we also hung some coat hangers!



No supervision required.



And for your reference this was the crack house light, it was basically a light bulb in the ceiling JUST in case we wanted to put a chandelier there eventually. This is the only picture I have to show you, excuse the mess this was during construction!
