We spent the 4th of July weekend at Gretchen's house. On the 4th she had a party with a bunch of friends, some of who we had not met. After the party we all went to fireworks in Blacksburg. They put on a great show. Jean and I had not been to any fireworks for years.
On Saturday and Sunday we worked on Gretchen's basement. She is finishing the basement with a den, bedroom, full bath and laundry/mud room. Our tasks for the days was to put the cable TV cable and the telephone lines in. This involved pulling wires over walls, through beams and studs etc. etc. We got them all in. Only putting the wires in the boxes remains.
Next came finishing the last electric circuits, connecting to the breaker box and testing a three switch circuit (Gretchen got it to work after a few wire changes). She has far more skill with wiring than John.
We had a great time, got a lot accomplished and had fun with Mason too.
