Evening DPers. Something happened to me a couple of months ago that I felt important to pass on to you.
Now for months I have been bitching about redoing a tired old powder room hoping hubby would just hire it out but no he has always been a do it yourself kind of guy even at the age of 71. Every time we hire out work to be done he ends up bitching about the end product. He insists on doing it himself because he can that means I am in it neck deep with things he expects me to do. I'm tired of that rodeo. I am going to be 67. We can afford to have people do the work but he refuses if he can still do it himself. Well he finally got tired of my bitching and started to do the work in the powder room.
Because of my bitching, he discovered an outlet in the bathroom that we never use running so hot that you could not even touch it. The wires on the inside were frying. It was ready to start an electrical fire. You see my bitching ended up preventing a fire.
So heads up and take the time to check all your outlets. If they seem warm to hot you have a problem. We will be done with the bathroom tomorrow and it looks fantastic. A lot of work but hey the house didn't burn down.
