Projects, projects...

With the holidays over it was back to more little projects around the house.  Brian, as most of you know, is a big music fan and so we decided to add some speakers to the bath so he can rock out on his iPod while he is getting cleaned up.  We had brought an amplifier with us from Wisconsin and got some speakers at Home Depot.

It all seemed simple enough.  Crawl up in the attic space, punch a few holes in the ceiling and bing, bam, boom - Barbra in the Bath!  Like most simple plans we hit a few glitches.....

First off, there was no way either of us were going to be able to stuff ourselves up into the attic space.  Then, the floor of the attic (ceiling of the bathroom) was covered in about 12 inches of insulation.  So, with some fancy measuring, I decided on the placement of the speakers and started to cut holes in the ceiling.  A very dusty process!  Drywall dust everywhere!  I was covered in it and had it in places I didn't even know I had!

Got past that and the actual installing of the speakers was pretty easy.  Running the speaker wire wasn't as easy.  But Brian got a brilliant idea and off to Home Depot we went to get an electrician's wire snake.  Worked like a charm and now our master bath is wired up to the max.  Crank up Babs or some oldies and you can not only brush your teeth, but feel them vibrating in the process!  :-)

(I'm going to have to try and get some more flattering pictures of me and Brian for the blog.  Seems like we only take pictures when we are hip deep in some project, covered with dust and dirt!)
