SO MANY moments of 'damn, that looks great.....and only took an hour..... damn. I REALLY should have done that 2 years ago'.
Oh well. Nothing to dwell on.
Switchplates seem, in particular, to have been something of a huge blind spot for me.
Open switch plate with unfinished woodwork transforms to:

| So, so simple |
Oh hello there you pretty 'tenants-wont-run-the-same-risk-of-electrocution-that-I-did' thing.
I'll lie to myself and say I lived for the adventure of it all.

| Call me Steel, Stainless Steel, baby |
Seriously. 2+ years. I can't even remember what I thought was such an impediment to finish.
Papa Steve finished this one, so; guess I never really did get over the mystery problem, just outsourced the solution.
Actually, more than half of the switch plates that had no special construction requirements never even made it back onto the walls after painting.

| Painting was the day after closing.....for SHAME, Lindsay! |
But: fear not. Yesterday was momentous: ALL OUTLETS AND SWITCHES ARE COVERED.
That deserves a milkshake. Or hopefully, even better; a renter?

| oh, oh but I have |
