After breakfast, I began taking the bathroom light apart to see what we could do. Beth worked on changing out the plug in the hallway that was on the same circuit. I found that we are not going to be able to change out the whole light. The housing is attached to the frame inside and we can not get to it unless we tear down the wall. So we will try to change out the light and the trim. We also determine that we should paint the doors and the cabinet facing. We are now looking at a bold color for it. So off to Lowe's we go. We looked at light and found something we thought might work . We looked at some color samples and grabbed a few and then headed to get some new paint brushes. Our final stop was to pick up 6 bags of peat moss for the back flower bed. So we first worked on the light. The opening was a little small so Beth went to grind it down and turn the electricity back on. But each time she turned it on, the breaker kept tripping. Oh great, did we pull a wire loose when we were messing with the light or did Beth wire the plug in wrong? Never do 2 things at once, cause you never know what caused the problem. So I started with the easiest fix first, the plug. And sure enough it was wired wrong. So I rewired it and we tried that. Yea it worked. So next on to the light. We were able to get the new light trim on, but it does not cover the hole. So not sure what we are going to do next. I will have to look at it again in the morning. We had the first round of left overs for lunch and watched the Phillies opener. They beat the Nationals 11-1 and it was a good game. Then we had to watch the local sports report and get the scoop on the McNabb trade. Sure hope it does not come back and bite us in the butt. Beth wanted to have a early dinner and begin cutting the grass. So after round 2 of leftovers for dinner, she cut the grass and I went to BJ's for rubber mulch. It was 3 dollars a bag cheaper there. They only had 9 bags, so we will have to try another place to get the rest. We have decided to prime the front of the cabinets and paint the counter top first before we pick a color. It is too hard to tell when so many other things are changing. The weather was really nice here today. In the low 80's and very sunny. I am going to get the the peat moss and rubber mulch down in the morning and then start our Easter dinner.
