THE OFFICE...

Regan and I have a room in our basement that is suppose to be our office. It started out with all the right things. 2 x 4's, electicity,drywall, texture, paint, trim, and carpet. Thats right... Until you realize there is a BIG problem. I installed the light and light switch.... Cool it works.
Well now that, that's done I installed all the plugs. Wow this electric thing is easy! So exciting lets plug in the vacuum and get this show on the road. Why doesn't the vacuum work?
Well I had a friend come and look at the plugs to make sure I installed them right. Ok they are installed right, so whats the prob? The electritian left the wires hanging and the drywall guy drywalled over the wires that are not connected to anything!!!! They said I would have to knock a hole in the wall that I had faux finished to look like sueade. (its Regans cowboy room :) That's not going to happen. So with out plugs it has turned into a PILE IT ROOM. Pile it here, pile it there.
Well it's been _ years (i don't even want to say it) . And we are both so tired of it. So we are getting everything together. The last couple of weeks we have been building shelves and can racks for our utlity closet off the "office". It feels so good to get things organized, we still have a ways to go, but I think we will turn this room into an office, real soon.

We have a Chair to re-upholster in a faux leather, Ill be doing that at the shop, fun. However we still have the electricity thing to address, the original electritian moved, he was in my ward, so I guess we will have to hire someone to come fix the prob. I've talked to a few and they say they can do it without knocking a hole in my wall. When the project is finished I will post a picture of the finished "OFFICE".
