A Little Winter Work.....Update #2

I spent most of today working on the guest room or wandering around Lowe's buying lumber and materials for this project.  Since it was cool and rainy all day today.....I didn't mind.  Fishing is HOT on Lake Murray and I WILL be on the lake if and when the weather breaks.  I need to wrap this project up soon!

All the trim, doors and windows are now painted the same shade of white.
Do you like the carpet?  I hope not because it's about to be HISTORY!  The boys show up on Monday to take measurements.

I replaced all of the electric outlets with new white outlets and cover plates.  I think it makes sense since all the trim is white.  Don't worry, I only got sh sh sh sh sh shocked twice while changing them.  Felt kinda good actually.  JK!  

After the window trim dried, I hung the blinds.  Shortly afterwards, Theresa rehung them the RIGHT way.  I'm not much of a blind guy.  Don't think I want to be either.  I am kind of a deaf guy though.  Really!

Now that all the painting is done, it's time to start on phase 2.  We are building two new twin beds and doing a little rework to the original two (above example)  As I was paying for the lumber and materials I said to myself, "Self, wouldn't it make more sense just to go buy 4 beds at Walmart?"  At that exact moment I felt sort of Forrest Gumpish.......kinda dumb but kinda smart too.

One last update: Randy-1, Squirrels-0  My bird feeders are a little safer today!
