And I did it my way!!!!!

As I have mentioned in my last post, my phone line wasn't working. So, last night after work, I went to Walmart (I'm still timid when it comes to Meijer) and I bought a new phone line and jack. My dad offered to help me (AKA do it for me) but I wanted to prove to myself that I can do it without help. I helped my dad install this line to begin with, so I knew HOW to do it. This is the first time I've been able to do a home repair/improvement without my dad doing it for me. Ok, so it would've been faster letting my dad do it, but that would've defeated the purpose. Oh, and it took me 4 hours and 3 additional feet of wire to complete. I kept cutting the little inside wires off when I was trying to strip the coating off them. I can now say that I have the hang of stripping the wires. Let's just say it's a good thing I bought the 100 feet roll. Ha ha Well, with all that said I now have a WORKING phone line which I installed MYSELF.
