TLC

Day 1648 - few weeks ago we finally hung the light fixtures to start getting a more homy feeling. All but one worked well and no matter what we did we could not make it work. Every weekend my BF was working on it for hours for no avail. So today after one more such session he also gave up and we decided to ask our downstairs neighbor who is an electrician. He came, started exploring and after about 15 minutes found that a connection in another fixture was not right and it affected not the one where it was but the next in line. Go figure. You have to be an electrician apparently in order to understand the logic of how things are done and with it the ability to do the detection work. So finally we have all our lights up and working and the frustration behind us. Now we just have to glue the box that broke in the process. It's a very cheap one but bound by cement and it might cause a female to the stone wall were it's located. Better try to fix it than replace it. Home is something that bring a lot of pleasures but it requires a lot of TLC. I am thankful to our neighbor for his help. I am thankful I have a home, TLC or not. I am thankful for a very productive Saturday.
