The kitchen light fixtures are up! Yippee!! It only took us a combined 5 hours. Damned non-standard parts! I need to add a little background here. My husband, bless him, is not what you would call mechanically inclined. He does virtually no home repair projects if it involves tools. He has NO patience for it. I, on the other hand, love a good puzzle and a good challenge. When one of the toilets needed to be fixed, I decided to fix ALL of of them. This entailed draining the tank, disemboweling them, and putting it all back together. Amazingly, there were no leaks. So while my husband wasn't alltogether excited to do this project, I couldn't WAIT to tackle the electricity in the house! I'm so pleased with the results! I'll post a picture when I figure out how to use the digital camera. Unfortunately, it did create another project. We need to paint the ceiling where the fluorescent light was. That involves some sanding and a ladder. You know how I feel about ladders.
