Picasa Web Albums and Silver Fork Canyon

Saturday, Jan 31 Greg and I toured from the base of Brighton to Silver Fork Canyon and skied a couple of runs there. It was beautiful! However, because of playing basketball both Friday night and that Saturday morning, my legs were dead... the hiking was fine, but while skiing my quads cramped up on me three separate times!

One run I had to stop and sit down because they were cramping so badly and every time I lifted one leg up to relieve the other, the leg I was standing on would start screaming at me. But I love it :)

The skiing was beautiful and the five-hour tour well worth it. I've changed from Flickr to Picasa Web Albums. Here are my pics and the pics of that day: http://picasaweb.google.com/skibjork

We finished with Canned lighting... kind of... just in Aubrey's room and the Living room, but it is wonderful to have some light in the house now and it get's me more excited to continue with the rest of the rooms, i.e. kitchen, hallway and master bedroom. Here's the play by play:

1) We found out where the center of the ceiling joists were and measured to make sure the light fit. We then took a 6" template from construction paper and drew a circle on the ceiling:


2) Chiseling out the cement "poops" to allow the can to sit flat against the ceiling above:

3) Using the keyhole saw to carve out the ceiling:
