So, started working on the livingroom outlet that I had already dissembled and it started turning into a mess. The leads were too short and there was no way I was going to get the wires reconnected with the box still in a position where I could actually tighten the terminal so I ended up having to splice the neutral to give myself a bit of space.
This of course meant another trip to Lowe's, after I had already been out and about earlier (thinking when I got home that I was home for the day)...but I was able to get a few other things I needed while I was there.
Found out that I do have enough stuff to cover the bathroom window (so it is translucent rather than transparent like it is now), so I hope to get that accomplished today along with some cupboards cleaned out in the kitchen so I can put some dishes away....did I mention that the previous tenant really didn't clean anything so the cupboards are petty gross and I am not putting any clean stuff in them until I clean them out.
Looks like I am going to have to try some paint thinner on the hinges on the door I need to hang so I can get the old hinge off and a new one on. Just can't have visitors for long periods of time if the bathroom doesn't have a door on it...yuck.
Needless to say, the list hasn't shortened but I do have a three prong receptacle in the livingroom that functions allowing me to not use an adapter any longer!!!
