Light Switcheroo

It's nit-picky, but we think the light switches with the lame on/off labels from the 70's are tacky and ugly. So Tung, all by himself, embarked upon the project of changing them out to the more modern, big-tab switches throughout our entire house. It's a good thing, too, because what goes on with electricity in the dark, cavernous confines of the wall is something that I don't want to mess with. Here's a picture of the switch after the wall plate has been removed:


Um, yuck. I wasn't around to hear the cursing that must have inevitably come forth when Tung discovered the lack of color-coding of the positive and negative wires, but I'll bet that was fun times for him. Below are pictures of the old double switches, along with a new and old switch mounted side-by-side for comparison:




And here's the ugliness of the wall stuffs aesthetically covered up with new wall plates:

And now, all that's left to do besides enjoying the pretty new switches is getting past the muscle memory of flicking instead of pressing whenever we want to turn our lights on and off.
