time to say hello

I'm having a dreary January. sorry to complain to those who live in colder climates, but we are used to going camping all winter here in southern NM. All our favorite campgrounds are closed due to Covid.
There is still some disbursed camping available, but I think full timers and snowbirds take up a lot of the places.
Got the wiring "fixed", not real proud of the job, but it's safe and ok for now. I eliminated the outlet in the wall behind the couch, wired in new romex 12 g and ran it down behind the shelf in a vinyl wire chase. this takes it down to the floor under the couch and over to the other side of the arm of the couch. then up the wall in the wire chase and along the top of the table under the window and through the wooden partition wall right at the corner, then up and to where the other outlet on that wall. eliminated that one too, although it would be a simple thing to put an outlet in there, we seldom used 110, so I connected the wires together and covered the hole with a stained piece of wood. The outlet behind the couch, I covered with an eternabond patch, which will do until and if I decide to change the drapes.
I did take the couch and table apart, but really didn't have the skills to start ripping anything else up, at least I see how to re-upholster the couch.....
You all who tackle these major restorations are heroes to me!
