Shawna's Castle

Ever since Shawna moved into her Las Vegas digs last month, Gma and I have been trying to get over and add a few home touches. We finally got the chance and made a quick, two night dash, leaving Friday morning.
After we got to Shawna's, we made the first of 3 trips to Home Depot. Not bad, really. The last trip was just for some picture hanging hooks.
We dumped our purchase at the house and went downtown to our favorite buffet at the Main Street Station. It was Friday, and that meant it was seafood buffet. Shawna was soooo excited. After standing in line for 1 1/2 hours and she doesn't like seafood. Oh well, there was plenty to eat and we did.
After playing some penny slots, we headed home for some much needed rest.
Early the next morning, we got after it.
We installed 4 ceiling fans, including dimmers and speed controls. We fixed the dishwasher (plugged it in), hung two towel bar things, replaced the doorbell, transformer (and diode - ask Shawna), hung a curtain rod, fixed a toilet, hung a picture, and replaced two other light fixtures.
We also hung some peg board and a broom holder in the garage.
We didn't get to a few back yard projects and decided to save them for the winter.
We also decorated the living room with new furniture (he he he).
