Today was basically a wasted day. Though I did purchase a ceiling fan for the bedroom and light for the closet. I went with an iron fan and a black light. I think these will go together, but I’m not sure. The problem I had is that I found a fan I liked, but I couldn’t find a light kit that went with it. My solution was to buy a white one and some black paint. I painted it and hope it will look ok.

I tried to install the light in the closet. I had to stop when I found that the cover piece for the light doesn’t completely cover the hole in the drywall. (I’d take a picture of the problem, but my camera is in Alaska with my Mom.) When I tried to install the smoke detector, I ran into the same problem. So, I basically quit working out of disgust with myself.

My main problem is this, when I installed the boxes for the outlets, I should have also put on the extension pieces that would make it flush with the drywall. Then, I should have cut a whole in the drywall for just this extension piece. Stupidly, I cut holes for the entire electrical box, which means that nothing that I buy is going to cover the damn hole.

Tomorrow (or whatever day I’m less upset with myself and am able to work again), I have to put the extension pieces for a single outlet on the electrical box in the closet and then drywall around it. And do the same for the hole for the smoke detector. So much for thinking I was done drywal taping. The good news is that at the same time, I can repair the chunk of wall I took out when moving my workmate into the closet.
