House Work

Among the gifts we gave were a ping-pong table to the twins. It was mostly Michael's, but both will use it.

Which means we now have mondo incentive to (finally!) get that basement in order. My goal -- before the end of January (when we're hosting a Super Bowl party) -- is to get the basement decrappified, get two new circuits wired into the breaker box, and to wire one of those circuits into the overhead lights (so we'll actually be able to see to play). When the basement is decrappified, we'll then have a foosball table, a dartboard, and the ping-pong table to play on. Not bad.

Then, of course, comes the big job of actually finishing the basement...but once it's decrappified, that will be easier (and it will be more fun, too).

It's a win-win proposition, all in all.
