My whole intention Sunday was to get our new garbage disposal installed quickly and then get Goober to the park for the day..  Unfortunately, I should have realized that I was working with water, and EVERYTHING water related around here was done incorrectly by the owner..  So, I got under the kitchen sink yesterday and took out the old garbage ( Read more... )

...well, at least for me.. Bear worked hard today getting things checked off the "to do" list. I love having a sweetie that isn't afraid of electricity and knows how to wire things. :D We started the day off with turning off the electricity in the computer room and getting the outlets rewired.
