Electrical Improvements...

A post-Thanksgiving "thankful for" statement! I'm thankful my dad is an electrician! He did so much to help us at the house while he was here! He fixed the ballast on the flourescent light in the garage, he was able to figure out why the dryer wasn't running hot and now it gets really hot, he installed our digital thermostat, he figured out the switches/outlets in the backyard and now the pool light comes on, he fixed the socket in the extra bathroom so the lightbulb works now (turned out it was just a bulb that was poorly threaded...that was an easy one! I felt kinda dumb on that one!) and he checked to make sure the wires we thought controlled the fan in the master did control the fan and then he installed the switch to make it work! A lot of the issues stemmed from switches being tripped in the breaker, and just not knowing that they were tripped! I love it! Things are so much better know that we have a little more knowledge on the house! And, we found out the house is wired with copper, which is great! Thanks Dad!
