We had freezing rain today, and for those of you who live in flat places, it’s a lot worse here where it’s hilly. It was really quiet out because no one with any sense was driving. There were pictures on the news of a nice red Miata sliding down a suburban street (hah, I hate the suburbs) but also of buses with tire chains that were also sliding. And, guess what, fully loaded fire engines with chains that were sliding. It was a bad time to be outside.

So I spent the day making a big hole in the wall where near the electrical work needs to be done. I was busy cutting a nice hole in the lath and plaster until I BROKE THE BLADE OF MY SABER SAW. Of course, I wasn’t about to go out in the ice storm to buy a new blade, so I just watched football. Sawing in an old wall is incredibly dusty and nasty, and as an added bonus we had cellulose insulation which is even dustier.

Well, at least I had something to do so I didn’t go stir crazy.
