Power tools are sexy

As part of my Christmas present to my mom, I agreed to put up some track lighting. I'm not wholly sure why my mom thought I could do this, or why she particularly wanted track lighting, but hey. My favorite part of Christmas was always putting together the elaborate presents (dollhouses were awesome projects!), and I am a stage electrician, so I guess this could work.

After a trip to Home Depot with my handy uncle and alot of instructions, I flipped the breaker and started work. A couple trips to Home Depot, many expletives, and some jerry-rigging later, two track lights are in the air.
The Dude was hugely helpful with the flashlight and extra hands. My dad was thoroughly displeased at the fact that someone other than him was doing something around the house, and was not doing exactly as he would. And he failed to point out any of his concerns until I was up to my eyeballs in this project. It was so frustrating to try to juggle the family crap and the levels of ingenuity required. But they look so cool!
