We just purchased our first home in a small, quaint and charming little town in northern Wisconsin. Let the fun begin! While raising our six blessings, we are going to attempt to revitalize our cozy Dutch Colonial Revival home. Follow along and see what we learn, discover, and overcome in the process. It is sure to be a houseful of laughs!

Getting Our Heat On

One of the side effects of taking down walls is that you end up with these new, fun, but no so cool, hanging decorations.


In the front, is the electric box that controls the kitchen and dining room lights. These have to be rerouted and are on our never ending list of projects and things to do. More importantly, though, the thermostat is just hanging around on the left side of the chimney. This was the perfect height for little fingers and resulted in a few adjustments. One night we all woke up freezing because someone turned the furnace off! Other nights, the fan ran all night long....again, because someone turned it from auto to fan. Of course, whenever Mommy or Daddy asks, we are told it was "not me". Apparently, we have a child running around that we have not personally met yet named Not Me!

Anyway, Daddy took a few moments and with the help of the little man, reran the thermostat wires so that it could be relocated to its new home, just around the corner and in the living room.


It actually moved about three feet from its original location, and since we want to put in a wood stove some day, hopefully, it will no longer be needed as much. Don't worry, little fingers have trouble reaching it now, since we have a coffee table blocking direct access except for the taller members of the family! Yeah....one more thing improved! See, we are starting to make progress!
