Home Improvements: Lighting 1

This is the new light to be installed in Young Daughter's bathroom out at the trailer.
Here at the left is a look at the old, defective light. This one has exhibited a tendency to flicker and go out. The Fuzz found that it would work, if someone would climb up there and wiggle it periodically. It was realized that this was not an ideal situation. So, once again, it was time for a trip to the Home Improvement Store.
The Fuzz has learned the hard way that to avoid "painful electric shock" it is prudent to first flip the appropriate circuit breaker. He did this while the defective light was lit so he could be sure to get the correct one.
Having taken care of this important detail, he proceeded to attempt the removal of the defective unit. This was accomplished with some difficulty as it was attached to the flimsy ceiling with a number of layers of paint. He accomplished this with aid of a putty knife, leaving most of the ceiling intact.
There was a slight problem holding this fine new light up there whilst making all these connections, but here we see how That Resourceful Fuzz solved this problem too, by the use of a common clothespin. With all the connections in order, it was time to finish up by adjusting the length of the cord and attaching all to the box in the ceiling. Below, is a look at this finished Home Improvement.
The Fuzz realizes that publishing this post at this time of day (12:04) may be a bit confusing, but this is not one of those trick posts. He really is here now in "real time" as they say. There seems to be a bit of a problem with his back (again) so we regret to report that he is not on the job today. We hope that this situation will improve soon.

Love the pic too :-) Though I hate to hear the back problem. Seems that it might be contagious?
