Wha--who installed knotty pine in my house?!

Okay. I admit it. 

It was me.

I am weak.

Yes, I did say I don't want my house to look like a cabin or a beach-house. Yes, I probably mentioned knotty pine tongue-and-groove (or TNG) by name. But... I was sick of plywood. And to be very honest... TNG is fun to work with! 

Circuit Breaker Box

 For some reason I was sweating nervous about installing my circuit breaker box. It didn't look quite like any of the diagrams online, so I couldn't follow their instructions blow-for-blow... and I really, really, really didn't want to do it wrong. Electricity has the tendency to inspire fearful respect, and if you're an amateur electrician who feels otherwise, then you're probably also a fool.

Just sayin'.
