Since it has been too quiet at xjoe81x's lately (JOE TRANSLATION:  "I haven't spent money on stupid stuff I don't need in a while"), he got the urge.  It was time to get the kitchen and dining room painted.

Now that's all fine and good, the holidays were approaching and with family coming over, and the rooms really needing to be painted, that's well and good.

But of course there's MORE.  He ended up with some wall sconces that take candelabra-base bulbs.  Wiring these in required wiring in the attic, basement, and walls.  xjoe81x knows why and can explain it to you, but you won't live long enough to hear the story, especially if you hear it over the phone.  Remember that the xjoe81x translation of "extreme, extreme nutshell" is *ONLY* 16 minutes.

So we went up in the attic, and then down in the basement, and back to the main floor, and everywhere in between.  Along the way, an extra wire was found in the ceiling box, which looked like it went over to where the microwave was.  Turns out, there was a VINTAGE, ORIGINAL TO THE HOUSE electric clock outlet, sitting there, behind the paint and plaster the entire time.  They just covered right over it.  So needless to say it has been uncovered and left for future projects.

xjoe81x needed some wire as well, 14-2.  He was completely out, I had some.  As time was of the essence, and xjoe81x picked me up from my house that day, I took his ride to my house, grabbed the spool of wire I had, and came back.  He used every last foot of what I had.  And stole my bulb, but that will be in an upcoming video.

Of course running the wire should be easy, but in an older home it never is due to the way it was built.  Plus the fact that you can't see through walls, so a lot of cuts and modifications later they were installed.  There will be a full demonstration in a later video.
